"Mr President, thanks are due to Commissioner Potočnik for firmly representing EU policy at the Rio Summit to the greatest extent possible. The question is whether the summit was a success or a failure. Certainly, it cannot be described as a success, though I am not disappointed personally, because I did not expect and we did not have cause to expect great results under the circumstances. Naturally, we will endeavour to maintain our existing enthusiasm, but the question is for how long we will manage to find suitable partners for it, and whether the policy we have pursued so far is sustainable at all in the long term. As Mr Florenz, the rapporteur, remarked, we are running out of time. We need to perform much more effectively and resolutely on the international stage in order to stand a chance to put into practice the little we have achieved. That primarily requires, however, that the Member States and the political groups reach agreement among themselves. We are aware how greatly our opinions differ on the subject of energy policy, which is closely connected to the fight against climate change. Putting the Energy Efficiency Directive into practice and further development of clean and safe nuclear energy can make a significant, positive contribution to the fight against climate change."@en1
