lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, may I add my congratulations? Kyoto has ultimately not remained an empty promise. At the last moment, Bonn produced the political signal that was necessary. It is a signal on the basis of which Kyoto can become a reality. We must make a start on this project as soon as possible, not only in Europe, but also in other parts of the world. Political agreements must now be translated into concrete action with visible results, because that is the way to strengthen political support for climate policy. The signal must now be seen and heard everywhere. The struggle against the emission of greenhouse gases is a worldwide challenge in third-world countries where the results of the rise in sea level and the change in weather patterns are making themselves painfully felt. It is a global task, for which Europe must take its share of the responsibility. We must invest and not forget that at present there are two billion people without electricity. Sustainable energy can give a boost to development. Much more discussion is needed with the United States, where the main fear is loss of jobs. We must now demonstrate that, in fact, the economic effects are favourable. Sustainable development must lead to sustainable growth. Within the Union, we must now quickly begin the ratification process and launch the system of emission rights. Industry is keen to have clarity and to start rightaway. We must make the transition to a low-CO2 economy and give this a concrete form. This requires research and innovation. It is of great importance for us to join forces in a common research programme. The framework programme for research and Article 169 offer a good basis for this. Climate policy is also a component of the Sixth Environmental Action Programme. It must be adopted across the product and packaging policy, transport policy and energy policy. In each Member State, action programmes must be introduced and clear political choices must be made on the way in which Kyoto is realised. In this way, Kyoto and Bonn will culminate in an unparalleled burst of innovation. It is now time for action."@en1
