"Mr President, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak, because I would like to talk about an important matter related to the costs of climate policy.
The European Union is planning climate policy consistently. Of great significance, however, is the fact that this policy is having an overwhelming influence on the economies of Member States. When structural differences between the economies of different Member States are taken into account, it is becoming increasingly clear that the individual Member States are going to bear very different costs of implementation of the strategy. At the same time, it is a fact that the new Member States met their obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol with a wide margin. In the case of Poland the reduction amounted to nearly 30%, compared to the 6% which was required, but in the case of the ‘old 15’ the reduction was barely 1%, whereas they had committed themselves to a reduction of 6%. In relation to this, everything the Commission does must take account of the differentiated costs of adaptation of the economies of different Member States – costs which different Member States have borne to date for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol – and must also end those changes which might upset the balance between Member States."@en1
