"Madam President, the compromise on the emissions trading scheme that is to be voted on tomorrow bears the unmistakeable signature of the European Parliament. That is what the rapporteur for her part and the shadow rapporteur for his part have both worked for. I should like to thank them sincerely for this.
The revision of the emissions trading scheme and the whole climate change package form the most ambitious and far-reaching defence package for the global climate that has ever been embarked upon. Of that we can be proud. Neither should we make little of this success; on the contrary, we should pause for a while and take a deep breath.
However, we dare not settle for what we have achieved, for what is to be put to the vote tomorrow. We must instead watch closely how the climate develops and what economic consequences this development will have for us. For this reason, I am requesting the Commission to produce a kind of Stern Report for the European Union, so that we can consider precisely what financial consequences climate change will have for the European Union, and what measures we must take in future to master this global crisis."@en1
