".
It is only natural that environmental issues, and climate change in particular, should be uppermost among our concerns.
I support many of the guidelines on environmental policy that Europe has been pursuing, reflected in both the report and the Commission communication. I believe, however, that there are two points that we must bear in mind. Firstly, environmental issues are obviously not at the forefront of the concerns of developing countries, and indeed they are not alone in that respect. Secondly, developed societies are not prepared to accept a lower standard of living, and nor should this be our policy or our blueprint. This is precisely why research and development needs to be our major priority, given that the aim should be to manage resources, thereby ensuring a better and more sustainable quality of life."@en1
