7. Outcome of the Bonn Conference on climate change

B5-0539, 0540, 0541, 0543, 0551 and 0552/2001

European Parliament resolution on the outcome of the Bonn Conference on climate change

The European Parliament,

(cid:129) having regard to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
in The Hague on

(UNFCCC) of December 1997,
the Sixth Conference of
13-24 November 2000, and the last Conference in Bonn (COP-6, part 2) on 16-27 July 2001,

the Parties (COP-6)

(cid:129) having regard to the next Marrakech Conference (COP-7) which will take place at the end of October

and in early November 2001,

(cid:129) having regard to the statement made by Commissioner Wallstr(cid:246)m on 4 September 2001,

(cid:129) having regard to its resolutions relating to climate change, notably that of 5 July 2001 on the Euro-

pean Union(cid:146)s strategy for the Bonn Conference (COP-6, part 2) (1),

A. whereas full ratification and implementation are of fundamental importance in tackling the key prob-

lem of climate change and for the future of the world(cid:146)s environment,

B. whereas the European Union and its Member States have a responsibility to proceed with the work

required under the Kyoto Protocol and to encourage other parties to follow suit,

C. whereas the European Union delegation will have to play a major role in this process, and the Euro-
pean Parliament participants should continue to be involved in the work of the delegation to a greater
extent than in the past,

D. whereas the US Administration has not yet reconsidered its negative decision in spite of strong inter-
national condemnation and the political and diplomatic initiatives taken by the EU in order to resolve
differences, nor yet produced any suggestions of its own to reverse the process of global warming, and
whereas it welcomes the decision of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations which passed a
unanimous amendment calling on the US to re-engage at COP-7,

E. whereas developed countries, including the US, have a major responsibility for greenhouse gas emis-
sions; whereas those countries should therefore play a leading role in the Kyoto process; whereas in its
resolution of 5 April 2001 (2) the European Parliament urged the Commission and the Member States
of the EU to maintain such a leading role,

1. Welcomes the international agreement to a set of decisions to speed up action on climate change, as
reached on 23 July 2001 in Bonn by more than 180 countries, including Japan, Australia, Canada and
Russia, but with the notable exception of the US; considers that this agreement gives new impetus to the
Kyoto Protocol and is an essential instrument for the implementation of a world strategy against global
warming; considers, furthermore, that the Bonn agreement is an important step towards the emergence of
a global and multilateral decision-making process in the field of the environment;
