Without a legally binding global international agreement under which the other industrialised nations undertake to make equivalent commitments and emerging countries undertake to make suitable efforts, there are not sufficient grounds for a unilateral increase in the EU emissions reduction target for 2020.
It is too early to recognise the Commission’s evaluation of a possible 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels, should the EU objective of increasing energy efficiency be met (20% increase by 2020). Before proceeding along these lines a careful examination is required, along with a thorough investigation of the implications in terms of costs.
Within the framework of international climate negotiations, recognition of this result at this stage does not seem appropriate, because in the eyes of the other parties it detracts from the unilateral commitment already made by the European Union (-20% by 2020). It is also too early to recognise the milestones identified on the roadmap, before carrying out the necessary investigations for evaluating the implications for Member States.
In view of these considerations, I voted against the report."@en1
