"Madam President, we fully understand the situation, the tone has been set, I believe, and Minister Carlgren has even criticised the prevailing pessimism. The countdown has really begun to save the Copenhagen Summit and to ensure that the main polluting countries of the planet sign an ambitious agreement and make a commitment to future generations.
An agreement is a good thing. Achieving success, of course, is even better. We know that this success necessarily hinges on the support of the industrialised countries – primarily of China and the United States – for what will be the future Copenhagen Protocol, and on the equally necessary support of the developing countries. In this regard, Parliament’s Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety has done its job by proposing EUR 30 billion of annual direct aid until 2020 to help those countries in their transition to a lower carbon economy.
This leads me to mention what I consider to be a flaw in our resolution, namely the lack of consideration given to the impact of climate change on people’s health. It has a crucial impact if we listen to the appeals and the warnings of the WHO.
I therefore call on all of you to endorse the two amendments on this subject that I have inserted in our resolution."@en1
