"Mr President, unfortunately, the giants – the United States, China, India, Brazil – were not joined by a European giant in Copenhagen. Worse still, 28 European dwarfs sat at the table: 27 Member States and one powerless Commission. This is how not to do things. If Europe fails to speak with one voice, it is powerless and cannot fulfil its potential role. This is a pity not only for Europe but also, in particular, for the results of this kind of conference. This morning, President Barroso, Treaty of Lisbon in hand, said it is the Commission that speaks on behalf of the European Union in environmental matters. Let him put his money where his mouth is. My question to the Commission is: instead of fine words about one voice, are you prepared to lay claim to that role and, if need be, to push the Council aside?"@en1
