". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, two really historic events have marked the end of 2009: the Treaty of Lisbon’s entry into force and the Copenhagen Summit. I would like to use my speech to express my satisfaction with regard to the way in which the European Union is proving, at the moment, to be the main actor when it comes to finding viable solutions in the combat against climate change. I am similarly pleased that Member States have managed to reach agreement at all and present a common position, even though reaching agreement among the 27 Member States is no easy task. The outcome will perhaps not match up to our ambitions and expectations, but the decision made by the European Union Member States to offer EUR 7.2 billion to the developing countries is all the more important as these countries are in urgent need of financial support. It is also possible that this example could encourage the other UN countries to take the same action. The fact should also be applauded that even the countries in the European Union which have been severely affected by the financial crisis to date have expressed their solidarity, made an effort and are going to make a contribution, even if it is only a token gesture by some of them, as an indication of their commitment to the battle against global warming."@en1
