persist.
4.Against this background, we commit to take all necessary steps to strengthen andreinvigorate our economies and combat financial stresses, recognizing that the rightmeasures are not the same for each of us.
5.We welcome the ongoing discussion in Europe on how to generate growth, while
maintaining a firm commitment to implement fiscal consolidation to be assessed on astructural basis. We agree on the importance of a strong and cohesive Eurozone forglobal stability and recovery, and we affirm our interest in Greece remaining in theEurozone while respecting its commitments. We all have an interest in the success ofspecific measures to strengthen the resilience of the Eurozone and growth in Europe.
We support Euro Area Leaders’ resolve to address the strains in the Eurozone in acredible and timely manner and in a manner that fosters confidence, stability andgrowth.
6.We agree that all of our governments need to take actions to boost confidence andnurture recovery including reforms to raise productivity, growth and demand within asustainable, credible and non-inflationary macroeconomic framework. We commit tofiscal responsibility and, in this context, we support sound and sustainable fiscal
consolidation policies that take into account countries’ evolving economic conditions
and underpin confidence and economic recovery.
7.To raise productivity and growth potential in our economies, we support structuralreforms, and investments in education and in modern infrastructure, as appropriate.
Investment initiatives can be financed using a range of mechanisms, including
leveraging the private sector. Sound financial measures, to which we are committed,
should build stronger systems over time while not choking off near-term credit growth.
We commit to promote investment to underpin demand, including support for small
businesses and public-private partnerships.
8.Robust international trade, investment and market integration are key drivers of strong
sustainable and balanced growth. We underscore the importance of open markets anda fair, strong, rules-based trading system. We will honor our commitment to refrainfrom protectionist measures, protect investments and pursue bilateral, plurilateral, andmultilateral efforts, consistent with and supportive of the WTO framework, to reducebarriers to trade and investment and maintain open markets. We call on the broader
international community to do likewise. Recognizing that unnecessary differences andoverly burdensome regulatory standards serve as significant barriers to trade, weICB 第 2 回「国際共同声明を読み込む講座」

support efforts towards regulatory coherence and better alignment of standards tofurther promote trade and growth.

promoting the free flow of information. To protect public health and consumer safety,
we also commit to exchange information on rogue internet pharmacy sites inaccordance with national law and share best practices on combating counterfeit
medical products. Energy and Climate Change
10.
As our economies grow, we recognize the importance of meeting our energy
needs from a wide variety of sources ranging from traditional fuels to renewables toother clean technologies. As we each implement our own individual energy strategies,
we embrace the pursuit of an appropriate mix from all of the above in anenvironmentally safe, sustainable, secure, and affordable manner. We also recognize
the importance of pursuing and promoting sustainable energy and low carbon policies
in order to tackle the global challenge of climate change. To facilitate the trade ofenergy around the world, we commit to take further steps to remove obstacles to theevolution of global energy infrastructure; to reduce barriers and refrain fromdiscriminatory measures that impede market access; and to pursue universal accessto cleaner, safer, and more affordable energy. We remain committed to the principles
on global energy security adopted by the G-8 in St. Petersburg.
11.
As we pursue energy security, we will do so with renewed focus on safety andsustainability. We are committed to establishing and sharing best practices on energy
production, including exploration in frontier areas and the use of technologies such as
deep water drilling and hydraulic fracturing, where allowed, to allow for the safe
development of energy sources, taking into account environmental concerns over thelife of a field. In light of the nuclear accident triggered by the tsunami in Japan, we
continue to strongly support initiatives to carry out comprehensive risk and safetyassessments of existing nuclear installations and to strengthen the implementation ofrelevant conventions to aim for high levels of nuclear safety.
12.
We recognize that increasing energy efficiency and reliance on renewables andother clean energy technologies can contribute significantly to energy security andsavings, while also addressing climate change and promoting sustainable economicgrowth and innovation. We welcome sustained, cost-effective policies to support
reliable renewable energy sources and their market integration. We commit toadvance appliance and equipment efficiency, including through comparable andtransparent testing procedures, and to promote industrial and building efficiency
through energy management systems.
13.
We agree to continue our efforts to address climate change and recognize theneed for increased mitigation ambition in the period to 2020, with a view to doing ourpart to limit effectively the increase in global temperature below 2ºC above
pre-industrial levels, consistent with science. We strongly support the outcome of the17th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) in Durban to implement the Cancun agreements and the launch of theDurban Platform, which we welcome as a significant breakthrough toward the adoption
by 2015 of a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force

applicable to all Parties, developed and developing countries alike. We agree tocontinue to work together in the UNFCCC and other fora, including through the Major
Economies Forum, toward a positive outcome at Doha.
14.
Recognizing the impact of short-lived climate pollutants on near-term climatechange, agricultural productivity, and human health, we support, as a means ofpromoting increased ambition and complementary to other CO2 and GHG emission
reduction efforts, comprehensive actions to reduce these pollutants, which, according
to UNEP and others, account for over thirty percent of near-term global warming aswell as 2 million premature deaths a year. Therefore, we agree to join the Climate andClean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-lived Climate Pollutants.
15.
In addition, we strongly support efforts to rationalize and phase-out over themedium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption, andto continue voluntary reporting on progress.
