"This motion for a resolution has some positive aspects, like those that have preceded it, namely those relating to the 15th and 16th Conferences of the Parties. In general terms, it notes the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the need to meet the targets set out under the framework of the United Nations.
However, like the previous resolutions, this one also fails to set out the means by which these goals can be achieved, and also fails in its analysis of the reason why the targets are not being hit, despite conference after conference: the solution to this environmental problem cannot be found within the framework of the irrational economic and social system that caused it.
The failure to acknowledge and discuss this premise and the insistence on a capitalist approach to the problem, in which market instruments such as carbon trading feature prominently, does not give rise to any optimism that the problem can really be solved. This is a problem which, in fact, has far wider-reaching and more complex manifestations than those set out in the resolution, which are born of the increasing and inexorable scarcity of raw materials, on which numerous spheres of activity in contemporary society largely depend.
In addition, it persists in considering the EU a homogenous entity, when the specific situations of the various Member States are, in fact, profoundly heterogeneous, under the principle of ‘common but differentiated responsibility’."@en1
