lpv:translated text	"Debates, discussions and negotiations on an international climate agreement in Copenhagen have been going on without a break for months. In the clamour of information, where some countries are bidding and competing with each other in declaring ever more ambitious goals, others are announcing grand expectations, and yet others have an entirely passive attitude, and it is easy to lose sight of the main purpose of what is, quite simply, a historical agreement. For we are talking about combating climate change – change which could lead to a true ecological disaster. We are talking about the common future of the planet – the future of all of us. This is why educational work is also so important. I have the impression that the opinions of European citizens are increasingly diverging from those of the political elite. There is a danger, here, that proposals which are put forward in the Copenhagen forum may be treated simply as a kind of divine intervention or a fabrication of the political elite. We need to work at educating the citizens, and the European Commission should be responsible for this. Combating climate change must not be treated as a whim of wealthy countries which want to force their point of view on others. I think that in this matter, the Commission and the Representations must maintain a permanent policy of information and education. Also needed is a strong policy supporting the search for effective technologies to capture the carbon dioxide produced from coal used as an energy source. This technology should be given the same political status as other renewable energy sources. This should be a priority in the work of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, which we established recently in Budapest. The last thing – the costs of establishing a special fund to support the fight against climate change, should be spread equally across the Member States depending on the level of their wealth."@en1
