"Mr President, I do not want to depict a doom scenario, as has been done here. I do not want to depict a doom scenario for the future, nor do I want to look back in anger about the failure of Copenhagen – although I am angry.
Therefore, the resolution is to do far better in the future, the next opportunity being Mexico this year. Firstly, do not walk alone next time. In Copenhagen, we looked back and we stood alone in our ambitions. We must be able to convince others to be as ambitious as we are. How can we claim to be in the driver’s seat if we fail to convince others of our ambitions and of the destination?
Secondly, no one size fits all. As sometimes was proudly said during the run-up to the climate summit, there is no plan ‘B’. Well, we certainly know it: there is nothing right now. We have nothing. So we had better have a plan ‘B’ next time.
Last, but not least, how can we win in diversity if our slogan is, I mean, unity. We had better unite next time, and that means one voice. We need a univocal mandate. Europe really needs one voice. So, President-in-Office, are you willing to commit yourselves to obtaining an exclusive – and not a shared – mandate? It would be an exclusive competence for the European Union in climate policy and climate agreements."@en1
