In defence of Latvia’s interests, I did not vote for the motion for a resolution on the Climate Change Conference in Doha, Qatar. The resolution states that it will not be possible to carry over emissions units to the next commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. This proposal is unacceptable, since it would significantly increase the costs required for Latvia to meet objectives which it is already achieving to an admirable extent. Data show that Latvia has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % compared with 1990.
A ban on the carry-over of emissions units would make it necessary to purchase more of these units on the market, and this, at a time when the country is on the way to balancing its budget, would only increase budget expenditure. The global targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are to be welcomed, but they must be achieved in a predictable manner, and not by creating an additional burden for national budgets."@en1
