"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, first of all my congratulations to Mr Moreira da Silva. This is a very important directive, perhaps the most important one of these five years, and tomorrow it will be brought to a successful conclusion.
The opt out that Germany was so keen to see for entire sectors is explicitly no longer possible. A heavy defeat for the Ministry for Economic Affairs and even for Chancellor Schröder. Still more important is that next year the Commission will study seriously how transport sectors, with stress on the plural, can be brought under this directive. And that is most sorely needed. Both road traffic and air traffic are going too far. All the internal air traffic within Europe will count for the achievement of the 8% reduction. Can the Commission confirm that it is working on a concrete proposal to bring air traffic within Europe under this directive?
It is very important that we conclude tomorrow because that, as Mr Davies has already said, will give the right signal to both the Duma in Russia and the government and the opposition in the United States that this is a serious system. This is the most efficient way of reducing CO2 and I do not therefore understand the GUE Group."@en1
