lpv:translated text	"The decision by President of the United States to reject even the cautious commitments of the Kyoto Protocol on emissions of six greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is clearly totally irresponsible from the point of view of the environment and the interests of humanity. However, the verbal clashes on this subject between the United States and the other industrial powers are hypocritical. The behaviour of America’s leaders is only the reflection of the behaviour of an entire social class which monopolises the means of production of the entire planet, in the United States, in Europe and elsewhere. Mr Bush is just doing the dirty work for large US corporations in the oil and coal industry. He is applying the philosophy of an economic order based on the quest for profit. Were European governments, however, which, by the way, claim to be defenders of the environment, able to prevent the Erika disaster? Were they able to prevent many continental rivers being turned into sewers? Were they able to prevent Seveso? Are they even able to force industrial companies to respect the working environment and the health of their own workers? Just like the Government of the United States, their main concern is to create the political conditions which will enable large companies to maximise their profits and not to curb them, even in the interest of society at large. For our part, while condemning the Government of the United States, we condemn the governments of all industrial powers and, beyond that, the current economic order, in which profit is everything and human beings count for nothing."@en1
