"I abstained on the joint resolution on the Bonn conference on climate change. It presents a much too enthusiastic assessment of the agreement negotiated. It is difficult to believe that this agreement ‘gives new impetus’ to Kyoto, constitutes an ‘essential instrument’ for a ‘world strategy against global warming ‘ and represents ‘an extremely positive message for all citizens who are concerned about globalisation’. It should in fact sound the alarm bell: nine years after Rio, no real measures have been put in place and the ambitions displayed by the Member States have been strangely diluted.
The Bonn agreement includes positive points, such as the refusal to present nuclear energy as ‘clean energy’. But it marks a new climb down in the face of supporters of the ‘let the market decide’ approach, which can only concern and not reassure ‘citizens who are concerned about globalisation’. The joint resolution is still quite ambiguous on this essential issue. Paragraph 9 ‘regrets’ the space given in Bonn to ‘coal wells’ and ‘flexible systems ‘. But paragraph 6 proposes that the 2003 conference on the climate should have these ‘systems’ as a theme (the international system of exchange of emission rights) rather than the essential public policies that are required to fight against climate chaos.
The simple fact that an agreement was reached in Bonn with Japan, Australia, Canada and Russia should not hide how far the content of that agreement is from responding to the urgency of the challenges."@en1
