"Although we are discussing an own-initiative document, the report is responding to a strategy document issued by the Commission in March 2011, in which it set out an ambitious European course for reducing greenhouse gas emissions after 2020: to reduce emissions by 40% by 2030 and by 60% by 2040, in order to arrive at a reduction of 80-95% by 2050. The draft report by Mr Davies proposes to put forward requirements more stringent than those outlined by the Commission; in particular a 25% climate target for 2020 and binding European targets for 2030 and beyond, quite apart from a global climate agreement. Moreover, the report maintains that the Commission must intervene in the current regulatory arrangements of the Emissions Trading System from now until 2020, by withdrawing emissions allowances from the market or increasing the annual linear reduction requirement for emissions at the European level. Both measures, if introduced, would in fact involve an amendment of the decisions taken by Member States regarding Europe’s commitments in the battle against climate change from now to 2020. With this explanation of vote, I wish to express my opposition to amendments that are more stringent than the commitments already entered into as regards reducing emissions by 2020."@en1
