Every effort should be made to go as far as possible in cutting greenhouse gas emissions, in order to defend the European public’s quality of life and the sustainability of the future economy. The EU should strengthen its commitment to an environmentally friendly economy, even if world powers resist getting behind this priority cause. The threat that climate change represents for humanity is not decreasing, and the impact of the 2°C temperature increase is worse than previously thought. I support the challenge to the Commission to table proposals as quickly as possible, with a view to making Europe more ambitious in climate terms and making a 30% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, provided that is achievable, and that it does not impede our companies or harm their competitiveness. I also consider it essential to commit to scientific research, to technological innovation in carbon-free energy, to energy efficiency, and to creating green jobs, so that we might make the European economy more competitive."@en1
