lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would sincerely like to acknowledge all those who have been involved in creating this compromise, which we will vote on tomorrow. It has been said several times here that after the first reading it was difficult to believe that we would get this far, that we would have a directive on emissions trading available to us whose content is sensible and rational in a way that makes it possible to be accepted from very different points of view. We obviously have to remember that this is just one of the many ways we have to aim for a reduction in greenhouse gases. If this way were not available to us, we would have to find another, but it has been seen and shown that this is a cost-effective scheme and in this sense it is good that it is to be introduced. I wish to stress, however, that these last minute discussions and negotiations resulted in the unreasonable proposals that seemed to be included, such as a ceiling on national emission allowances, being taken out. Moreover, the fact that auctioning is to be voluntary is excellent. This way companies that have opted in will not be under strain. In conclusion, my congratulations go to the rapporteur and all the others involved. We still have a long road ahead of us in our endeavours to reach the Kyoto targets, but the compromises this report and this directive have achieved mean that we are a step further along the way."@en1
