"Madam President, I think the European Union has been a world leader in many areas, maybe without getting the credit for it.
Certainly in relation to development aid, and in climate change, we are second to none. Therefore, as we approach the conference in Durban, it is important that we should discuss these issues here.
But we also need to change our tactics. It is not good enough any more for the European Union to say we are going to go this far and we hope you will follow us. I think, in the present economic situation, particularly if countries that are competitors of ours, like Russia, Canada, the USA, China, etc., are not willing to come along the road with us, we should say we are not going to go as far as we said either.
We should concentrate on areas where there is an advantage to us, particularly in energy efficiency, ETS, as has been mentioned, and so forth, and not ensure that we go into poverty while they become richer and richer and the world falls apart."@en1
