"Madam President, I had a speech prepared, but that is not the speech I shall give. I too was disappointed at what I read and heard of events in Bali. However, I am also disappointed by what the presidency had to say and I should like to ask a few specific questions: What are the real problems? What was the opposition? Who is responsible for the stalemate, or rather the failure of Bali? We are talking politics here. We did not come here to provide a shoulder to cry on. The Commissioner gave a number of details, but we need far more than that. Are you going to say anything about the deal between the United States, Canada and the petroleum producing countries and how it is stopping renewable sources of energy from taking off? Are you at long last going to give us a more political opinion on the increasing unreliability of important partners with whom we are perhaps still hoping to broker agreements in Johannesburg? I agree with what Mr Lannoye said about our policies; they have to change. Following Bush's policy towards American farmers, who seriously believes that there can be the tiniest change in Europe towards European farmers? We really do need to find reliable allies. And they really are to be found among the poorest in the world. We really do have to say something to persuade them. Leadership succeeds not by what it says but by how it persuades. So, first, there is the Kyoto and the Cartagena way. We can continue along this course, even if unreliable partners pull out. There are huge efforts which can be made both on the question of trade relations and on the question of funding, without overturning what was agreed in Doha and Monterrey. And even greater efforts can be made, especially with regard to public assistance. There is the question of administration, what some refer to as . We demand good governance on the part of developing world countries and we are incapable of good governance of the world per se, with institutions, rules, resources, funding, possibly even taxes, which we are quick to reject."@en1
