"Mr President, I recognise that climate change is a serious issue, but I often worry that those who want to save the world are actually living on a different planet.
In the middle of an economic crisis, families are feeling the pinch. Does the EU really want to tax citizens further just for driving their children to school or for turning on the heating?
I am glad this House recognised what is going on in the real world, and that it understands how ordinary families are struggling to make ends meet. The EU needs to be reminded that it should focus on economic growth and on making citizens’ lives easier, not more difficult during a downturn.
I voted against this report. My group, the ECR, voted against this report, and I am pleased that most of the House followed my group and voted against it."@en1
