"I should like to discuss the transport aspect. I believe that, along with the energy issue, transport is actually the toughest of the climate-change challenges.
It is tough because it necessitates a reconsideration of the logistical organisation of our trading system and of the way we move and travel around. Of course, we shall have to take a combination of measures if we are to meet the targets. These include continuing to invest in research and development, imposing stricter technical standards, laying down and disseminating the best standards, implementing the internalisation of external costs so as to foster efficiency in the system and establish a level playing field between the various modes of transport, and also, of course, setting enforceable, ambitious targets at global level. This is particularly important in the case of the aviation sector and maritime transport, where there is still a great deal of progress to be made in the field of sustainability.
In this regard, I must say that the targets drawn up by the Council – a 10% reduction by 2020 for aviation and a 20% reduction for maritime transport – actually lack sufficient ambition. I think that we can go even further in this regard.
On the other hand, I note that the resolution refers to the matter of selling half of the emission allowances by auction. That is inconsistent with what we ourselves proposed two years ago, when we had 15%, and so I would focus on an ambitious agreement. Let us aim for this."@en1
