"As the Doha summit begins, and with the Kyoto Protocol due to expire at the end of 2012, I voted for this resolution, which calls on all states to intensify their efforts to limit global warming. The current promises to fight climate change are not sufficient to meet the target of limiting the average global temperature increase to 2°C. It is crucial for a new international treaty to be ratified with more ambitious objectives, and for all countries to step up their efforts. To this end, we call on the EU to aim for a 30 % reduction in its emissions by 2020, we stress our support for the inclusion of air transport in the European emissions trading system, and we ask that the issue of emissions from the international maritime transport sector be addressed swiftly. Unfortunately, the likelihood is that no new legally-binding international treaty will enter into force before 2020, which would leave a void after the expiry of the Kyoto Protocol at the end of 2012. This must be avoided at all costs, and I call upon all signatory states to come to an agreement on a second commitment period for the current protocol."@en1
