"Member States are not in a position to continue financing unilateral emission reductions. In advance of the next Climate Change Conference there is no indication that the US, China or India are prepared to follow Europe’s lead and introduce significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. According to the analysts, even if Europe did away with all its industrial emissions, the global trend would remain unchanged unless the aforementioned countries took action. Furthermore, there is still no rational indication as to whether this trend is the result of human activity or of natural climate change. Once again, I call on the European Parliament to reconsider its stance. That is why I voted against the resolution debated. Personally, I am amazed that Parliament can be opposed to the exploitation of shale gas, which can lead to a genuine reduction in emissions, whilst it is simultaneously in favour of further unilateral emission reductions, which would have serious consequences for European industry. It is time to consider where this policy is leading us."@en1
