lpv:translated text	"Mr President, many other conferences have already taken place since the climate conference in Kyoto. Now that we are preparing for New Delhi, the Kyoto Protocol is still not in force, however. Obviously we cannot have complete control over the world just like that. Certainly not when we consider that man has limited influence over CO2 emissions. Technically speaking there are vast sources of CO2 emissions and CO2 wells. It is therefore only to be expected that emissions caused by man have only a limited effect on the overall amount. However, we still have a duty to limit CO2 emissions as far as possible. A glance at the conference programme shows me that specific matters relating to the implementation are up for discussion. The emphasis being placed on wind energy, cooperation with third countries and emissions trading schemes is a positive development. In my opinion the European Union can make a substantial contribution towards projects for clean development in developing countries. The EU already has a pioneering role to play with regard to emissions trading schemes. Parliament has chosen to implement an unambiguous and well-thought-out system to be introduced in 2005. Economies can be made by businesses being more frugal with energy and the link with the overall energy policy is of course very important. With regard to CO2 wells I would like to point out the danger that we might overestimate in our accounting for CO2 wells in, for example, the ocean. As the water warms up, its capacity for absorbing CO2 will fall again. The European Union ratified the Protocol six months ago. Let us hope that the New Delhi climate conference will result in ratification by the Russian and Canadian Governments."@en1
