"The President-in-Office of the European Council, the Swedish Prime Minister, joined with the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi, in writing a letter dated 22 March 2001 to the United States President, expressing great concern about the response from the American government regarding the Kyoto Protocol.
This was then followed up by a special declaration from the European Council in Stockholm, expressing the European Council’s same deep concern.
Moreover, the President-in-Office of the Council (Environment), the Swedish Minister for the Environment, together with the Commissioner with responsibility for environmental issues, Mrs Wallström, have visited Washington during the last few days in order to express the European Union’s concern directly to the American government and to discuss how the American government might be persuaded to resume discussions of the Kyoto Protocol.
I know that the Swedish Minister for the Environment is landing in Stockholm just about now. I have not therefore had the opportunity of receiving an assessment of the results of the visit directly from the minister, but I can assure you that the Council will do everything to ensure that the Kyoto Protocol, which is, of course, one of the most important tools of all in our work for sustainable development in Europe, does in fact become a reality and is ratified."@en1
