"Mr President, we are absolutely obliged to take steps to propose to Parliament that a clear and effective mechanism be set up to monitor greenhouse gas emissions. I therefore fully support the compromise proposal to be brought forward tomorrow because it is important that we act with some urgency on this issue. It is a sad reality that, since we signed the Kyoto Protocol, gas emission levels in Europe have gone up instead of down. It is high time that we assumed our responsibilities. These responsibilities lie primarily with the Member States and it is time, as I said, that we assumed our responsibility not only for the health of our population today, but for the protection of our environment for tomorrow's generations as well. Last week's report indicated that three countries – Ireland, Spain and Italy – accounted for almost half of the five hundred infringements of environmental laws in the European Union over the last five years. This is an example of how Member States, having approved directives and transposed them, are failing to ensure that they are implemented."@en1
