"I would like to congratulate the French Presidency for the work it has done, enabling us to reach an acceptable compromise on the energy and climate change package. Adopting this package makes the European Union number one in the fight against climate change, based on the example it has shown and the commitment it has made. In Copenhagen the European Union will have arguments which it can use to negotiate with the other states from around the world so that we can contribute at a global level, through our joint effort, to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
I also congratulate the French Presidency for its involvement in adopting the Third Maritime Safety Package ‘Erika III’ through conciliation. Based on the lessons learned from maritime accidents in recent years, the EU has tightened the regulations on maritime transport safety and drawn up specific measures and clear solutions for dealing with maritime accidents. Progress has also been made, albeit insufficient, in the areas of sustainable transport, the Single European Sky and road safety. I would have liked us during the French Presidency to have made progress on the road package, energy package and telecoms package as well.
In addition, the full debates held in Parliament and the Council on the impact of the rise in energy and food prices showed Europe’s citizens that the social agenda is one of the European Union’s top priorities."@en1
