lpv:translated text	"Mr President, climate change has already caused 300 000 deaths, and inaction, for us, is a crime against humanity. We know that this is an emergency, we know that there is no plan B, and yet, today, the negotiations are at a standstill. It is easy to say that it is the United States’ fault, but we believe that Europe is also hugely responsible. Europe is unfortunately no longer, as the Prime Minister claims, the leader in the climate-change negotiations. Extending Europe’s current commitments to the entire planet means having 4 degrees of global warming by the end of the century, 4 degrees of global warming! That is unacceptable, and it will no longer be enough, as President Barroso is also claiming, to hide behind the legislative character of this commitment alone. Independent studies show today that Japan, Norway and Switzerland are ready to make greater efforts than Europe. With regard to the emerging countries – China, South Africa, Brazil and Indonesia – they too are making commitments domestically that go beyond what the scientific community is asking of them. If there is one lesson to be learnt from Mr Havel’s speech, it is how to be modest and how to be realistic. Let us stop pretending that everything stands still outside Europe, that the world has not changed since Kyoto, and that Europe is always far ahead of the international community. In refusing to take account of the requests of the European Parliament and, in particular, of its Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, the Council has assumed responsibility for something very serious: failure at the Copenhagen Summit. It is not too late; Europe can resume its leadership by immediately increasing its reduction target to 30% and by granting at least EUR 30 billion in aid to the countries of the South. In so doing, we will lead the countries of the South and force an agreement out of the Americans."@en1
