"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, my congratulations go to Mr Blokland for an excellent result. Parliament has succeeded in bringing forward the deadline for abolishing the use of methyl bromide by four years, and, furthermore, the schedule for cutting HCFCs has been made tighter. It is important that the EU continues to be a pioneer in abolishing the use of substances that deplete the ozone layer, despite the fact that this subject no longer makes the headlines. Many of these substances are powerful greenhouse gases, but they have nonetheless been excluded from the Kyoto Treaty. That was because it was thought that they would be regulated under the Montreal Protocol. It is important that we also remember to attend to this issue and continue to abolish powerful greenhouse gases in the future. It is also important that we set an example to other countries in this matter, including the developing countries. In the case of substances whose use has been banned in the EU, my group would have liked to restrict their export in a clearer way than has now been agreed. I hope that this principle will be incorporated into legislation when the next steps are taken."@en1
