".
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to congratulate my colleague, Mrs Mechtild Rothe, on an excellent report. She has done much excellent work and we in our group strongly support her.
Europe, which actually invests in energy use efficiency, is once again an example for other continents to follow. We are setting an example to the rest of the world, because serious and effective measures need to be taken, with climate change threatening us all.
The target 1% per annum in additional savings will be tough. In my country, for example, it will be thought impossible as a goal to be achieved every year unless the initial energy-effective situation we already have is taken into consideration. It is obviously unfair that some of the energy savings work that has already been actively carried out should be ignored just because it has been carried out too early, so to speak. It is therefore reasonable not to punish those who have already invested in efficiency before leaving it too late. Moreover, in my country we already refer to guidelines for energy-efficient public procurement and buildings.
Fortunately, then, the Kyoto negotiations may be continued on the basis of the outcome of the Montreal Summit. May we work effectively in negotiations, as they will not succeed just with the help of technology: people, leaders and politicians will also be needed."@en1
