"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, there are a number of points I would like to make. Firstly, of course, I have to thank Mr Papastamkos, but I would like to include in that expression of gratitude Mr Moreno Sánchez, a member of my own group and its shadow rapporteur. Both of them, along with all the other Members who have acted as shadow coordinators, have done excellent work in achieving – to some extent jointly – a good compromise and a credible report.
I have a couple of important points to make, which relate to the aspects that you, Commissioner, addressed. We find ourselves in a very tricky situation. London was not a success, Rio was not a success, and next comes Geneva. Are you ready and able to say something about the prospects for these negotiations? Will Geneva happen? How will it work out?
A second point that we have raised with the Commissioner several times already is whether the Commission will, this time, be willing to acknowledge, in the final statement, the role of parliaments. There is recognition already for civil society, but the role of parliaments is still passed over in silence. Only if it is mentioned will it be possible to give better guarantees, in future, of the parliaments’ involvement and of their ability to exercise a monitoring function."@en1
