Welcomes the international agreement on decisions taken at the Tenth Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, including the Buenos Aires Programme of Work on Adaptation and Response Measures and the decision to start a dialogue on future responses to climate change under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol in May 2005;

| 2. | Strongly believes that the European Union should retain its leading role in international efforts to fight climate change; expects the EU, therefore, to present a proposal for a future regime to the Seminar of Governmental Experts which is consistent with the EU objective of maintaining the average global temperature increase below 2 °C above pre-industrialisation levels, with global greenhouse emissions peaking within the next two decades, and which respects the principles of equity, responsibility and ability or capacity to act; |

| 14. | Calls on the Commission to consider in its forthcoming report on the costs and benefits of future climate change policies the adoption of border adjustment measures to offset any competitive advantage which producers in industrialised countries without carbon constraints might have; underlines that addressing climate change also brings opportunities and incentives for innovation in line with goals set by the Lisbon Agenda; |

| 15. | Applauds the initiatives undertaken by the EU to curb greenhouse gas emissions and in particular the emissions trading scheme that begins on 1 January 2005, and is greatly encouraged by the possibility of other countries such as Canada or Japan linking up to the EU's emissions trading scheme; calls on the Commission also to consider proposing linking the EU emissions trading scheme with regional initiatives which have adopted emission caps that are consistent with the UNFCCC objectives; further calls on the European Council to guarantee the prospect of utilising credits from project-based mechanisms in accordance with the conditions laid down in Directive 2004/101/EC also during the period after 2012; |
