"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to compliment you on the objectives you have set. However, it seems that the way we are working together at a global level, as we have done in recent years through such huge, gigantic conferences, is not working any more. I therefore support the call made by Mr Florenz. Stop attending these kinds of conferences. Think of something new and set the standard in Europe. Because, if we set the standard in Europe, it will become a global standard. Then, we will not need to have 45 000 people flying business class to Rio and thereby causing ten years’ worth of pollution in the world for which we then need a two-day conference in order to make amends with legislation. For that matter, I think that we should also consider how we can boost our economy by means of such high standards so that we can again create jobs in Europe. I think that we have the ability to do so and that we will achieve a lot more than we did in Rio with 45 000 people dancing around the issue without any result."@en1
