"Mr President, I am pleased to see the Swedish minister’s commitment. However, he is still very much alone. World leaders, the European Council and even the Prime Minister heading the Swedish Presidency seem to be prioritising short-term political gains on the domestic front instead of long-term environmental benefits on a global scale. That is unacceptable.
We need, among other things, clear information on the financing of the climate work in the developing countries. To promise to pay a reasonable proportion, as you have done up to now, is not acceptable. These are just words, there are no commitments and therefore I am going to keep asking. Can Mr Carlgren promise to give us clear information before Copenhagen?
Secondly, while we are on the subject of financing, it is intended that a large proportion of the money will come from trade in emissions allowances. At the same time, we risk undermining the system by opening the way for a large proportion of the emissions reductions to be made in the developing countries through clean development mechanism (CDM) projects. On top of this, it is also being discussed whether rich countries should be allowed to carry over unused emissions allowances from previous years. What do Mr Carlgren and the Presidency intend to do to ensure that the emissions trading system functions properly? Can we expect this game of cat and mouse that is currently going on between the countries involved in the Copenhagen Summit to stop?"@en1
