"Mr President, Rio+20 was rather disappointing. China, Brazil, India, spoilsports? You would think you were in Europe. To get het up, as Europeans, about the limited achievements of a conference which lasted only a few days would be sheer impudence given the difficulties we face throughout the European Union to find solutions to our problems, whether we are 27 or 17.
For one thing, the achievements are not entirely non-existent and, for another, limited achievements should not, under any circumstances, be used as an excuse for inaction on the part of the European Union. Let us set an example. Let us be creative. Let us begin by remaining faithful to our public development aid commitments. We are far from having fulfilled those commitments. Mitigating the effects of climate change on developing countries requires additional money, over and above traditional official development aid. We are light-years away from meeting this requirement
We must set binding objectives based on stringent sustainable development criteria. Let us be a model of sustainability and an inspiration to other geographical and economic spaces. All the same, I would like to thank the Commissioner, who has the necessary vision to help make things happen."@en1
