"Mr President, of course the European Council did not only address the subject of the climate. That was in the right direction. We Europeans will bear the agony and the cost. In other words, with these measures that we are taking, unless we bring the United States, China and India into line, it is like making our own car and paying a great deal of money, while our next-door neighbour drives round with a broken exhaust. What are we trying to do? Dig a hole in a pond? We therefore need a new Kyoto which will be signed by these three countries, which together account for half the population and 65% of the energy. It is an issue which we need to measure in this way.
On the other hand, we talk of developments in the economic, labour and social sector. I do not understand. Which social class are we talking about? About those who, after Lisbon, traded in their BMWs for a Mercedes? There are 100 million Europeans living below the poverty line. What are we doing for them? What will we do? They are the unemployed citizens. It is they who will block any referendum we may need at a later date on the Constitution. So let us look at the poor and not just stick to wishful thinking and words that ultimately convince no one."@en1
