"I voted for this resolution in which the European Parliament clearly supports the adoption of an offensive EU position in favour of sustainable development. As well as making many observations, the European Parliament mentions a number of proposals that I unreservedly support, such as taking action on a global and local scale; linking sustainable development with the reduction of inequalities and respect for fundamental rights as a matter of importance; and public ownership, without which the policy shift towards a proper environmental policy is not possible. While the European Parliament has once again called for a tax on financial transactions, a large majority has also voted in favour of the requirement to ensure the highest level of nuclear safety as a positive development in this area. Let us be under no illusions, however: grand statements, useful as they are, are not always translated into the action that they recommend. Many governments and MEPs forget their green pledges when a decision displeases the financial sector and major economic decision makers. I hope that this Rio Summit in June 2012 will result in strong decisions, unlike the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit, the results of which were no match for the challenges faced."@en1
