lpv:translated text	". It is essential to continue pressuring the United States administration so that the US agrees to sign the Kyoto Protocol. It is true that European measures such as the directive on trading emissions, aimed at reducing the cost of compliance with Kyoto, will help to reduce US resistance to the aforesaid Protocol. I feel, however, that a strategy relying on such risks being overly passive. It is therefore vital to bring Kyoto up at the next round of World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations. If the US does not participate in the Kyoto Protocol it will obtain unfair competitive advantages for its products, especially its energy products, over European products in the short term. It is a matter, then, of knowing whether the EC is prepared to push forward measures geared towards eliminating these unfair advantages within the WTO, principally by means of levying duties on US products exported into the European area."@en1
