"− ( ) The original IPPC Directive, along with the other six directives, has not been fully implemented in the EU Member States and therefore, these directives do not fulfil their purpose. It was therefore decided to recast these directives and we have voted on them in Parliament today. We Swedish Social Democrats are in favour of a recast and we can see that it contains certain improvements on the current rules. However, we chose to vote against the directive in the final vote, as we believe that some of the amendments that were voted through will make the directive considerably less good than the Commission’s original proposal. For example, we were unable to accept additional exemptions for large combustion plants. Another reason why we felt compelled to vote ‘no’ is the fact that we are missing an opportunity with this directive to seriously reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. By voting down the amendments that our delegation was involved in tabling, advocating limit values for carbon dioxide emissions for new large electricity generation plants, this House has shown that it does not take the work of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases seriously. We cannot support such a proposal."@en1
