". Madam President, we are at a crucial turning point for the planet. The scientific community, via the IPCC, is calling on the European Union and the Member States to commit to a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 compared with 1990 values. Current commitments by the European Union are just 50% of what IPCC reports are calling for as the absolute minimum commitment. The IPCC is to climate change what the International Monetary Fund is to the economy. My question is: would the Commission ever be able to deviate by 50% from objectives recommended by the International Monetary Fund as absolute minima? Moreover, the European Union is insisting on an increase in the target for reducing emissions to 30% in 2020, provided that other developed countries commit to comparable reductions in emissions. Given the current situation, which, what type and what size of commitments and by precisely which countries are needed in order to activate the above offer, precisely what climate policies will be revised in such an eventuality and exactly what preparations have been made for this?"@en1
