lpv:translated text	"It was an ambitious idea: to go beyond the 20% target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and to build on the European Union’s manifest desire to lead the way on climate change and sustainable development. It was a laudable and necessary undertaking. Mr Eickhout’s report required the Commission to make proposals on increasing the target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 30% by 2020. However, some other Members thought otherwise: they refused to agree to the 30% reduction and persuaded the majority of Members to reject the report in the final vote. I feel this was unfortunate, particularly as we have already cut greenhouse gas emissions by 17% compared with 1990, which means we are close to achieving the 20% target. We should be more ambitious. It is true that the votes showed that the majority of Members favoured a 25% target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but that is not enough."@en1
