"Madam President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, with the Copenhagen Summit less than two weeks away, concerns are growing as to the success of the negotiations on climate change. Some, moreover, are already saying that the summit will be a failure.
Major international powers are still reluctant to demonstrate the full ambition that the climate change emergency requires of us. By adopting, tomorrow, the motion for a resolution on the European Union’s strategy before the Copenhagen Summit, we MEPs must show that we are, firstly, totally determined, and that the summit must culminate in an agreement – one which is precise, certainly, but which is, above all, binding.
Moreover, it must not be possible to undermine or call into question the binding nature of this agreement that will be reached. One cannot put off taking decisions forever, otherwise it will be too late, hence the need to create an international environmental organisation, which today seems not only necessary but urgent too, since its role, under the auspices of the UN, will be to oversee the application of the commitments made in Copenhagen.
Starting in Copenhagen, we must be able to expect more lucidity and more responsibility from the major powers of this world."@en1
