"I welcome the progress that has been made in the talks between Parliament and Council over the last few days and late into the night last night. There is still some way to go, and I urge both sides to make the last effort to reach an agreement capable of being approved by the Parliament before Christmas. To be acceptable to Parliament, the package of measures must be sufficiently vigorous for us to achieve the agreed EU targets of a 20% reduction in CO
emissions and a 20% increase in renewables by the year 2020 – but also to enable us to go further and raise this up to 30% in the event of an international agreement. I am also pleased that there seems to be agreement that the biofuels target should be subject to strict sustainability criteria.
Some have qualified the package of measures as being extreme. If so, then I am an extremist – but I would point out that moderation in the face of a threat to the very future of this planet would be no virtue and vigorous action no vice."@en1
