"I will vote in favour of this report because it highlights the importance of moving beyond the current greenhouse gas emissions target of 20% and increasing this to 30% in order to work towards the ambitious 2 degree Celsius objective. This can only be achieved if there is global adherence to and participation in the ETS, which can only be fully effective if implemented on a wider scale. The EU ETS must however remain flexible when dealing with the economic crisis by taking financial measures which promote cost-effective GHG reduction in Europe. It has become increasingly clear that delaying action is unsustainable and will not only increase the costs of reducing emissions but will also result in the EU losing its pioneering role in green research. There must therefore be continued investment in innovation and promotion of eco-efficient development across Member States. International cooperation in this major climatic challenge will ensure that European industry is able to remain competitive and is never placed at an economic disadvantage. The EU, whose global emissions are just over 10%, cannot combat climate change alone; this is a global problem which requires global action."@en1
