lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to thank the Council and the Commission. With regard to the subject that we are debating, there are some certainties and a set of uncertainties. The first certainty, or the first common element, is that there is now a major convergence of opinion that emissions need to be reduced and that clean energy sources need to be developed. The second certainty is that there needs to be a global approach to or way of dealing with the problem. Therefore, the countries that emit the most CO into the atmosphere need to take part in all international agreements. The major producers of CO include the United States, China, India and Brazil. The third certainty is that the European Union is putting a proposal on the table that is an obligatory system of targets: 20% or 30%. The fourth certainty is that there are no reasonable signs, for various reasons, that the major CO emitting countries are going to accept an agreement of this nature, and that is the reality. There is not such a lack of optimism if we acknowledge the reality; pessimism wins the day if we do not know the reality. It is only by acknowledging the reality that we can create an effective policy, and it will be a more optimistic policy. I think that the European Union, as it takes the lead on this issue, has a duty to put additional measures and additional proposals on the table. Japan has been mentioned here, and we have to talk about the success of projects such as the Sector Focus project, which affect the most polluting industries. On the basis of a process of benchmarking, such projects have achieved extraordinary objectives in Japan. These are the realistic ways of tackling climate change. Copenhagen is an opportunity, but it will only be an opportunity for efficiency rather than rhetoric if we base it on reality."@en1
