lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Parliament can point to some real gains from the deal negotiated with the Council to fast-track this legislation and avoid the conciliation procedure. We can claim to enclose a number of possible loopholes. Member States will not be allowed to issue allowances that exceed their previously agreed targets, and they must not use the Kyoto mechanisms to avoid taking action to reduce emissions domestically. We look forward to the Commission coming back with plans to bring other greenhouse gases into the scheme and to extend its scope to include other industries. We await with keen anticipation the Commission's proposals to reduce emissions from the transport sector. Of course, we might have secured more, but speed is of the essence. We want this scheme to succeed, and if Member States are to start meeting their targets they must publish national allocation plans by March 2004. Several Member States have expressed serious concern about this legislation and this has been reflected within all our political groups. All those leading on the issue have faced a degree of resistance from some colleagues, but it is a tribute to the skill of our rapporteur that we have secured all-party support for this package. It is also a reflection of our shared concerns. When the Commissioner reflects on her term in office, she can take particular pride in the role she personally, and her team, played in securing support for the Kyoto Protocol. But with emissions of greenhouse gases continuing to increase in most developed countries, we hope that this scheme can make a very significant difference. I hope that it will enable the European Union to retain its credibility as the world's leading force in pressing for action to curb global warming. I hope also that it will send out a very clear signal about our determination, both to the United States and to Russia – particularly to Russia – whose ratification of the Protocol is so important."@en1
