"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Liese has just said that, yesterday, we, in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, adopted a very important and extremely detailed resolution. Since Mr Gabriel has gone into these details, I will not mention them. We will try to further improve this resolution in Strasbourg, with a view to the Spring European Council. I should just like to devote the few seconds available to me to supporting what I consider to be a very good starting point from Mr Gabriel’s speech, which is that we are faced with a turning point in history. I believe that, during this year and next, 2007 and 2008, it will be possible to actually say whether, politically speaking, we are going to succeed in speeding up and making a qualitative leap on this major theme that is commanding international attention. The situation is changing, not only in terms of the new data being supplied to us by the scientists in Paris, the panel, etc., but also in terms of the political and international debate: for example, a different sort of awareness is developing or may develop on the other side of the Atlantic. I therefore believe that, while playing our part and introducing appropriate legislation – emissions trading, the inclusion of aviation, the reduction in CO2 emissions for cars, and all the other things in the pipeline – we need to make a big qualitative leap in political terms and create a powerful alliance among the European institutions so that they can present themselves as strongly as possible in international negotiations. We too, as Parliament, ought perhaps to do our jobs better – clearly, first and foremost, that of legislator – but we can support the Commission and Council negotiations by perhaps proposing a major international alliance of parliaments, with a view to making the fight against global warming a real priority, as the citizens are demanding."@en1
