"The objectives of the earth summits include securing political commitments on economic and social development that is compatible with the balance of nature and protection of the environment.
This resolution does not escape the contradictions typical of all such resolutions, owing to the make-up of this Parliament and the resultant compromises. That said, it has a number of positive features. It keeps a certain distance from the Commission’s communication. In clarifying the concept of a green economy, it acknowledges that this will not automatically make the poor prosperous or realise the Millennium Development Goals. It draws attention to the inequalities and iniquities that exist at global and national level on account of the present economic model. It refuses to commercialise natural systems. It advocates increased support for developing countries, stressing the importance of Official Development Aid (ODA). It looks on water as a public good and calls for a universal guaranteed right to water and hygiene. It sets great store by international cooperation, and by the UN as the best forum for achieving this. It points out the need to guarantee the food sovereignty of developing countries, investment in small-scale agriculture and access to seeds. It advocates measures that will put an end to financial speculation based on the volatility of food prices."@en1
