lpv:translated text	"Now that the Kyoto Protocol can enter into force, it is important to look forward to what we can do in terms of our work on climate after 2012. As we all know, the commitments in the Kyoto Protocol are quite inadequate in the longer term. It is especially important for us to enter into discussions with the big developing countries, such as India and China, about the fact that they too must make binding commitments to reduce their emissions in the future, emissions that are now increasing extremely quickly. If this is to be possible, I think that it is important to talk in terms of the fair and sustainable use of resources in the long term and that the only fair long-term distribution of the right to release emissions is one that is calculated for each of the world’s citizens. That is the fair objective in the very long term. The American presidential election is, of course, a serious setback for international environmental work, and the United States will probably appear as a global anarchist in the environmental sphere during the next four years too. We do not have time to wait for the Americans, but we know that the day will come when, for both economic and ecological reasons, they will be forced to commit themselves to this work. It is therefore important that the work in which they will be welcome to take part be firmly on course. I should like to use my last few seconds to thank you, Margot, for the work you have done on environmental issues over these five years. It is not easy to be EU Environment Commissioner. I am certain that there are opponents both outside and, sometimes perhaps, also within the European Commission, but I am convinced that you have done this work as well as it was humanly possible to, and for that you deserve sincere thanks."@en1
