lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to begin by thanking the rapporteur for his very extensive work, but above all for being really skilful in his cooperation with other groups and for trying to find wide-ranging solutions. We appreciate this very much. I think that the report before us contains a great many improvements on the Commission’s proposal. After all, this is a very complicated subject. When it comes to the trade in emission rights, the main emphasis should be on taking measures that are as effective as possible. At the same time, there is a risk that this might be seen as a substitute for political action to reduce emissions, and this must not happen. Sometimes, too much confidence is placed in the trade in emission rights compared with the necessary measures that also have to be taken in other areas. The trade in emission rights at global level within the Kyoto Protocol is a system involving many risks. It is in danger of producing a situation where rights to emissions are purchased that do not subsequently exist. We must discuss how this can be avoided in future. As for the actual proposal, we want the system to be binding and for the exemptions that are made to be as limited as possible. We want as many sectors as possible to be covered, and we naturally support the proposal for an extension to more sectors. We think it is reasonable that all six greenhouse gases be included, and we think that auctioning off a part of the quotas should begin as soon as is practically possible. This is wholly in line with the principle that polluters should be expected to pay for pollution. We also support the idea of a national ceiling on trade, and we want effective sanctions. We will therefore vote on the various parts of the proposal in accordance with this."@en1
