"First of all, I should like to express my condolences to the families of the victims of today’s attacks in Athens.
To come back to the subject of climate change, the 35 000 representatives of the world peoples who met in Cochabamba in Bolivia did not beat about the bush. They want us to agree at the Mexico conference to legally binding reductions in our emissions. They are right. We cannot put off this decision any longer.
The European Union must immediately and officially commit to a 30% reduction in emissions by 2020. This will change the dynamic in the negotiations which, it is true, have become bogged down, with the risk that the decision on reducing emissions will be postponed until after Mexico, with no specific date and with no specific timetable.
We can also do much more in Parliament. A 30% reduction in the European Parliament’s footprint by 2020 has already been agreed. We need to set an example to the Member States by reducing our footprint by 50%.
We all know that there are large margins for energy savings in our daily workplace and for reducing our environmental footprint and we can and we must do so."@en1
