"I welcome this motion for a resolution because at present climate change is one of the world’s main problems, which needs to be addressed through consistent and coordinated action at international level. I believe that the EU must publicly commit itself to continuing meeting its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. All EU institutions at the conference in Durban must pursue a strict position and take broader and more effective EU diplomatic action in the area of climate policy. We must also make every effort to ensure the EU’s other global partners follow the EU’s example, by setting ourselves binding targets for the reduction of pollution. I welcome the roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy by 2050. I believe that the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 is realistic and will help maintain future prosperity and security. In order to achieve the objectives set, innovative financial mechanisms must be used on an international scale, along with revenue gained from the future tax on financial transactions. It should be noted that concrete steps must be taken at the Durban Conference in order to implement the Cancún Agreements as regards long-term financing."@en1
