We feel that it is a priority and a matter of urgency to pursue the battle against the destruction of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and the ensuing global warming. This battle can be fought either by using more alternative, renewable energy sources, which reduce fossil fuel consumption, or by adopting measures to reduce emissions from polluting industries and their effects. That requires investment in researching and implementing new technologies, which could help us to comply with the targets set in the Kyoto Protocol.
We reiterate our opposition to the creation of ‘pollution allowance trading’, however. Such a trade would turn allowances into a commodity and allow more developed countries to buy ‘pollution quotas’ from less developed countries, enshrining the status of the former as ‘privileged polluters’ and stunting the development of the latter. Recent United Nations figures, moreover, suggest a tendency towards a rise in emissions from industrialised countries.
By accepting the gas emission allowance trading perceived by some as a tool for achieving the targets of the Kyoto Protocol, this report shares that point of view. We feel that this is not the right approach."@en1
