lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the world needs a powerful, political signal. Kyoto should not remain an empty pledge. Political leadership is now required to win over the world. We need to display the necessary flexibility in this respect. First of all, with regard to the United States and Japan. We have to abandon the emphasis on domestic action. We must work towards a science-based approach of the ‘sinks’ problem. Secondly, with regard to the developing countries, climate changes impact greatly on the developing countries. The effects are being felt in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and the island states. We desperately need a warm-hearted approach to developing countries, and a fund that allows for adjustments being made. We must realise that if the United States does not take part, the incentive for the developing countries will actually be taken away, for it is precisely the United States that wanted to realise a large proportion of their duties outside of the US. The European Union now has to assume this role, and do more for the developing countries. Needless to say, the developing countries will in time need to be included in system of CO2 reductions, but then on the basis of equal emission rights. Thirdly, we must commit ourselves to taking domestic action seriously and not to promoting nuclear energy. We must now take swift action and launch a credible and reliable system for the trade in emission rights, and within Europe, we must set up a research agenda to make the transition to a low-CO2 economy possible. Mr President, the EU delegation did not show itself to its best advantage in The Hague. Indecisiveness and dissension contributed to the failure of The Hague. Parliamentarians could play a role if they gain permission to attend the delegation meetings as observers. As the President-in-Council stated a moment ago, we sang and lamented behind the scenes, but to no avail. Therefore, we now want to be admitted in the delegation as observers, and we believe that this can strengthen the unity within the European Union."@en1
