"Mr President, it is very important to lay down the right preconditions so that policy on climate change, based also on the Kyoto Protocol, can start to bring about specific results. I agree with the previous speakers that the United States of America, China, India, Brazil and other countries need to participate.
However, it is equally important that the right guidelines be given, so that policy and progress to limit emissions of greenhouse gases can be formulated and addressed in the long term. I was delighted to hear the Commissioner talk about a strategy after 2012.
This policy must take account of the increased needs of our planet and of the pressure caused both by the population increase and our various manmade activities. Sustainable development cannot be achieved without developing new environmental technology and innovations, especially in the transport and energy sectors.
We need to promote this policy not only at European Union level, but also at global level. The seminar of government experts must also include the question of promoting environmental technologies and innovation. Measures to moderate and adjust must also be based, over and above the aspect of the cost of productivity, on meeting future challenges.
With this objective, the seminar is seen as useful in identifying the factors which currently impose the greatest burden on the environment and, consequently, in promoting the necessary environmental technologies and innovations to mitigate these harmful repercussions."@en1
