"− I am extremely pleased with the rejection of this report on the European Commission’s Communication ‘Analysis of options to move beyond 20% greenhouse gas emission reductions and assessing the risk of carbon leakage’. We had no choice but to vote against this report, because companies are currently suffering due to a global crisis and, particularly in Europe, from unfair competition from other countries. It is therefore not possible to ask them to make a bigger effort than that already agreed. Without a 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. Furthermore, the Commission Communication points out that a significant part of the carbon emissions reduction is in fact linked to the economic crisis, which has led to the closure or transfer of plants to other countries. I understand, but do not share the opinion of the rapporteur, who would like to live in a bucolic world consisting of woods, meadows and animals, with no industry. Reality is very different and I am sorry to have to say it, but people need to work."@en1
