"Thank you, Mr President, and thank you, Mr Sacconi, for all your work.
We have a problem. Therefore, public and private investment in research and development to combat climate change is vital to ensure that the adaptation and mitigation actions are as effective as possible in relation to the limits and consequences of climate change.
We have an enormous task ahead of us, Commissioner. We must implement measures in the field of energy efficiency, promotion of renewable energies, efficient cogeneration, efficient use of fuels in motor vehicles, energy-saving public transport and lighting, better administration of farming and pasture land and reduction of deforestation, not forgetting better water use, given its scarcity.
However, I want to take this opportunity to make two requests. The first is to you, Commissioner: I ask you to revise urgently the policy on biofuels, both first and second generation.
The second is addressed to the Council: in spite of the fact that the rise in temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns caused by climate change will affect the land, no agreement has yet been reached on an adequate European framework for the protection of the land.
A firm commitment must be made without delay."@en1
