lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this resolution begins with a long list of the problems that have affected Spain. Unfortunately, these are no isolated phenomena. We remember the heatwave in France last year. The fact is that nine of the ten hottest years during the last 500 years have now occurred during the last ten years. Moreover, it is not good enough merely to alter agricultural policy in order to compensate farmers who are affected. We must have plans for dealing with disasters, but the big plan expected of us in this House today by future generations is one designed to combat climate change. Otherwise, what has happened in Spain will just be the first in a long list of disasters in which people, animals and natural features suffer as a result of climate change. Climate research shows unambiguously that not even our ambitious objective of a no more than two-degree temperature increase will be achieved with the objectives we have set for emissions reductions. On the contrary, a much more vigorous policy is required. We must not adjust policy in the wake of disasters. Rather, we must adjust policy in order to remove the reason why disasters occur. The former Spanish Government, which for a long time fought EU initiatives to introduce climate taxes and to alter the energy system with a view to protecting the climate, must, in actual fact, be criticised on this point. If this fight against constructive work on climate change continues, Spain will be hit on further occasions too. I therefore hope that, on behalf both of future generations of Spaniards and of people in the rest of the world, the Spanish Government will now place itself in the forefront of combating climate change on our earth."@en1
