we turn a blind eye to misogyny homophobia limb amputation and the funding of extremism in return for arms deals and oil and this primarily takes place with the states of saudi arabia and qatar. we must make a stand on moral grounds and say enough is enough.
indeed if we are to deal with radical islamism then we must at least have the courage to name its source.
because if we do not i fear that there will be a clash of civilisations at some point this century and this clash will not be fought in the deserts of the middle east it could well be fought on the streets in the cities and the towns of europe. we are the politicians of today ladies and gentlemen and we have a duty to hand on a stable and better society to our descendants and that is not a society where the words of a woman is worth half of that of a man;
but this is not only ludicrous it is also extremely dangerous. these terrorists commit these atrocities and quote the text from the holy book of islam so to suggest that these attacks have nothing to do with islam is akin to suggesting that the inquisition had nothing to do with the catholic church.
it is not a society where homosexuals are persecuted and it is not a society where unbelievers are second class citizens.
it is not just poverty and poor education it is a literal and backward interpretation of the koran. but not only do we in the west turn another cheek to extremism we actively encourage it.
now some may find what i am about to say to be unpalatable some might find it politically incorrect but the simple fact is the one thing they all had in common was they were done in the name of islam.
we need to bring about more stability and more equality in the world.
what we need to do is look at the root causes of why so many people who have their own home their own families and their own society are forced to leave.
it is the cult of mohammed and these people accept the death cult of mohammed.
we are told by our leaders that islam is a religion of peace and love.
if you control words you control how your opponent thinks and reacts.
it contains exhortations such as kill unbelievers wherever you find them' make war on unbelievers' and strike terror into the hearts of unbelievers'.
sun tzu said that the first place you win a war is in the mind of your opponent.
the problem is that the extremists and the fundamentalists actually choose the bits that they like in order to satisfy their bloodlust and earn themselves seventy two virgins in paradise although nobody has actually come back to confirm that they get them.
their ideology is.
the west and not just in the west is from fundamentalist islam.
it is the construction of a person.
judaism the religion of the jews and yet we accept the word islam submission to the will of allah.
western liberal democracies must make it plain that extremist fundamentalist islam has no place in western society.
let us go back to what we used to call this religion thirty or forty years ago mohammedanism.
most religions are named after their founders christianity the religion of christ;
the problem is that it is actually a contradictory mishmash of nonsense.
some people take that literally.
all propagandists know the importance of words.
the terrorists and the extremists all have one thing in common they are all reading the same book and it is called the koran.
we must support the moderates against the extremists.
let us make it plain that we do not accept this ideology and take practical measures to defeat the extremists and support those moderates who want to stay in western liberal democracies.
this is devastating.
they do not discriminate; they are modern bandits who kill muslims and non muslims alike.
the death numbers are more than statistics they are reminders that the fight against extremism globally and here in europe is far from over. there is also good news the muslim world is increasingly taking a firm stance against extremism falsely conducted in the name of islam. the eu should support such efforts by partner governments as well as ordinary citizens.
however a long term solution depends on us solving the underlying root causes. primarily we must achieve a comprehensive just and enduring middle east peace.
once more we see the terrorists have no mercy.
we became used to understanding in the past international terrorist activities of the al qaida model based on perceived grievances no matter how unjustified.
whilst clearly we need to do more in the european union to ensure that our societies remain vigilant and develop means to detect and prevent radicalisation and recruitment we also need to have enhanced domestic security measures such as the passenger name records system for aviation and better internet monitoring of terrorist activities.
all of the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks were somehow linked to isis in terms of its poisonous ideology.
but now isis offers a new more brutal territorial death cult model in which terrorist attacks are more firmly based on attacking religious beliefs and minority individuals and they are more involved in attacking these people than in attacking the state.
one year on from the lightning advance of isis the group is becoming a more permanent fixture tragically and unfortunately of the map of the middle east.
this is and unfortunately will be for a long time a crucial issue for our citizens.
in the past six months this commission has managed to put forward and implement a set of concrete actions to counter this threat.
during my introductory remarks i made special reference to tunisia.
they are partners and they have our full support.
we are working on it together with mrs mogherini and commissioner hahn and we have already started producing results.
that brings into sharp focus the vulnerability people face all over the world against an enemy fixed on the idea of senseless terror and destruction.
attacks in australia historically the uk france and tunisia show that we are vulnerable everywhere.
this threat extends beyond our borders.
whilst it is essential we cooperate with each other in europe it is vital also that we cooperate with third countries to provide global security and of course we need an effective strategy to counter radicalisation and exchange information.
tunisia like every other country in europe cannot be expected to respond to this threat on its own and it needs our help.
i strongly believe this global threat should be tackled globally.
at european level we should take all possible measures to maintain the security and safety of our citizens and play a supportive role in building a cross border response to this threat. terrorism aims at undermining our societies and our way of life.
it is a direct attack on the core values of the european union democracy the rule of law respect for fundamental rights of the citizen and unity in diversity and a threat to the security peace stability and prosperity that european integration has given or is trying to give its citizens.
what we need to do is make sure we have foreign policies where we can make sure that those who are actually committing these offences do not have that opportunity.
clearly in all the western balkan countries amongst the muslim minorities particularly in kosovo albania macedonia and bosnia and herzegovina there is a serious problem of radicalisation and of jihadi terrorists departing from these countries. up to several hundred of them may be as we speak fighting for isis
in iraq and syria. this is a serious problem. member states are aware of it and nato is taking it very seriously.
everything must be done to prevent this flow.
does she agree with me that we must stand up for the victims of terrorism and particularly ensure that this house and our own national governments distinguish clearly and in a legislative framework between those who carry out vile acts of terrorism and their innocent victims?
it does have the effect slightly of trapping heat around the world but how?
i suspected it to be the last and the hadley centre the uk's leading authority on this subject confirmed that it is the last graph. we are nearly on the flat line if not already there.
or is it a logarithmic graph where extra amounts of co two cause less and less extra warming eventually becoming a flat line?
extra co two will have no more effect. there is no problem.
admitting the central importance of population growth is key to addressing it and we will not succeed in tackling climate change or achieving sustainable development if we fail to do so.
we must do so entirely through non coercive means and we must never arrogantly forget that those of us in the developed countries contribute vastly more to climate change than those in developing countries.
it is the fact that human population is growing at unprecedented and unsustainable levels.
in the lifetimes of many of us here population on this planet will have trebled.
there is virtually no reference to it in this report and only a passing mention in the commission's comprehensive strategy for achieving a climate change agreement in copenhagen.
the un population fund says that three hundred and eighty women in the world become pregnant every minute of the day and half of that number do not plan to do so.
we need to slow and reverse our population growth.
that debate urgently needs to be begun and the eu is very well placed to start it.
yesterday a majority in this house adopted the laperrouze report which proudly upheld the role of coal in europe.
we are failing in giving the impression that the climate change debate is all about giving things up about doing without things. we need to get much better at showing real political leadership and demonstrating that action on climate change will bring us a better quality of life.
i do not expect to be popular for saying so but we need to be measuring the eu's progress not against what other countries are doing but against what needs to be done.
we are failing in not bringing enough urgency to this debate.
so i commend to you the idea of adopting a green new deal for europe a way of addressing both the economic crisis and the climate crisis with a major investment in energy efficiency and renewables to create millions of new green jobs in europe.
but that is not about kick starting economic growth in a business as usual' direction.
the latest science tells us we need to be reducing emissions by around nine year on year. the targets set out in this report and in the eu's climate package are simply not ambitious enough.
if we are not well on the way to a zero carbon economy in the next eight to ten years we will have lost the opportunity to have halted the worst of climate change.
today we speak of renewables and energy efficiency.
it is not about shivering around a candle in a cave it is about a future that can be more positive and attractive than today's.
as a british journalist christopher booker has remarked global warming alarmism is the greatest collective flight from reality in human history.
nothing at all happened. today we are told there is a consensus around catastrophic man made global warming.
mr president five hundred years ago there was a consensus amongst learned men that the world was flat.
the myth of consensus is a propaganda triumph for the alarmists but repeated surveys both of the scientific literature and of working climate scientists show a wide range of views on both sides of the debate with many believing that the jury is still out. it is true that the world has warmed slightly although slowly and intermittently over the last one hundred and fifty years
weapon systems would fail commerce would stop aircraft would fall out of the sky.
they were wrong.
they were wrong. in one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine everybody believed that the millennium bug would create a global disaster by closing down computer systems across the world.
but this is entirely consistent with well established long term natural climate cycles that gave us the roman optimum the medieval warm period and the little ice age.
it too is wrong. nor is it a consensus.
there is clear evidence that while the world has warmed slightly other bodies in the solar system have also warmed.
we are now planning to spend unimaginable sums of money on mitigation measures which simply will not work and which by damaging our economies will deny us the funds we need to address real environmental problems.
we are told that the world population will spiral to nine billion by two thousand and fifty thus food production must correspondingly increase.
on meat and dairy consumption.
these reduction targets cannot be met without serious diminution in food production.
mr president i want to raise a voice of concern and caution in this frenzied debate about climate change particularly as it could affect food production.
my guess is that only a few years from now the feedbacks i mentioned will be at the centre of the debate.
this is a rich report with a great number of concrete proposals. a specific call is made to use the stimulus packages all over the world to promote clean energy and green technologies stressing thereby that the financial crisis and the climate crisis have the same roots unsustainable use of resources.
this is the main reason why in my opinion emission reductions have to be much more ambitious in the near future than what is currently being discussed in the eu and by the un.
by the way a recent screening of more than nine hundred climate articles in scientific journals peer review showed that not one of them questioned the main thrust of the ipcc.
all these factors will accelerate warming.
while i support the report like caroline lucas i would have liked to see more attention paid to the most recent signs which tell us that climate change is both more rapid and serious than we thought just a couple of years ago contrary to what some colleagues here have said in particular mr helmer.
this means by the way that the two c target has to be revisited and that greenhouse gas concentrations have to be lowered rather than continuing to increase.
i hope the next parliament will build on our experience and deal with climate change and sustainability in a similar way.
i would have liked it to be at the core of the report.
one of the areas that i think needs to be enhanced is the communication of how farmers and those who use the land can farm in a way that is more climatically friendly'.
i think there has been a failure of the researchers to work with the farmers and we need more effort in relation to extension services to get the message across to encourage and not to coerce.
as legislators it is paramount in the midst of a massive economic downturn that we work on results for green energy technology.
we need to reduce bureaucracy and support smes and technology developers.
if on the other hand we dilly dally during this precious time we will lose out and other countries will be only too ready to fill the gap.
we now need to get behind our companies who have been working for over a decade to come to this point.
mr president the commission would like to read out the following statement the commission will when preparing the delegated acts ensure a simultaneous timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the european parliament and the council and carry out appropriate and transparent consultations well in advance in particular with experts from the national authorities of all the member states which will be responsible for implementing these delegated acts once they have been adopted or amended.
a study commissioned to examine the benefit of the first and second stage agreements has estimated that it could be worth up to eur twelve billion in economic benefits and up to eighty zero new jobs both very valuable in the current economic climate.
some of them would have been lost.
for the first time in such an aviation agreement the need to balance market access opportunities with strong social protection has been recognised through a commitment to implementing the provisions of the agreement in a way which does not undermine labour rights.
both sides also formally recognise the importance of avoiding duplication and enhancing the compatibility of their respective market based measures.
progress towards this goal will be reviewed annually and will involve working together through the joint committee. together with a high level review if progress is too slow we have a targeted approach for advancing in this area.
but perhaps the most important element of the draft agreement is the commitment to move forward.
on the environment the draft second stage agreement establishes a robust framework for tackling the local and global environmental challenges affecting europe and the us through the pursuit of joint projects addressing practical solutions such as cleaner in flight and air traffic management technologies and cooperation in international forums such as the
i would mention here in particular the emission trading scheme. europe is also set to benefit from progress made in the area of security where the agreement seeks to reduce the security burden on airports through the promotion of assessment activities and timely consultation on future requirements.
as part of the agreement europe and the united states have committed to the goal of removing the remaining market barriers that face the industry including those that limit airlines' access to global capital.
both sides have an incentive to make progress in this area through the guarantee of additional rights to operate passenger seventh freedom rights and develop stakes in third country carriers.
in the area of competition the agreement enhances cooperation between the responsible authorities as well as the transparency and predictability of regulatory decisions on both sides of the atlantic.
social protection competition and security.
it delivers immediate and future additional commercial opportunities establishes a road map for change in the vital area of investment reform and importantly secures the benefits of the existing first stage agreement that would have been lost if we had not reached this second stage agreement.
obviously this second stage draft agreement is a significant breakthrough and is to be welcomed.
i acknowledge that negotiators have made progress in the areas of security competition and market access but i am disappointed at the failure to resolve fully issues of foreign ownership and control and cabotage.
however i am concerned that specific references to ets eu social issues and a date deadline have been included in the text as we do not have the authority to broaden the scope of air service agreements.
the aviation industry has suffered massively over the last decade and although there is some improvement it is still fragile particularly in europe.
this is damaging not only in relation to a short term economic outcome but also to the main aim of education generating adaptable and independent individuals able to face the challenges ahead with open minds and confidence.
both the private and the public sector require skills that were almost unconceivable thirty years ago and in adapting to these changes we should no longer follow old school ways when it comes to education.
moreover eu support through development aid should be directed to third countries in order to offer assistance in developing national qualifications frameworks.
yet our education and training systems lag behind this new dynamic limiting the recognition of non formal and informal learning including the skills gained during volunteering activities.
greater flexibility in skills recognition is beneficial for european citizens and can also lead to better economic and social integration for migrants and refugees thus responding to another challenge of the eu.
to develop their skills and find the jobs that are right for them.
not go into the details of your questions one by one but i would like to stress that the eqf is a tool to make skills and qualifications more transparent.
and finally the future success of the eqf is in the hands of member states and stakeholders who are in charge of implementation. the commission's role will be one of support. i count on your continued support for the eqf and for other initiatives within the european skills agenda. it is our joint responsibility to offer citizens the necessary tools
this makes it necessary to keep referencing activity constant and up to date especially considering the increasing proliferation of international sectoral industry based training and certifications. i would especially welcome if the commission could provide more details on this.
this is why if we take european cross border mobility of learners and workers and lifelong learning seriously it is important that we make qualifications more transparent and understandable across different countries and different educational systems.
madam president although the european qualifications framework has been a significant driver of reforms in the setup of national frameworks as the commission is also aware not all the objectives of the two thousand and eight recommendation were reached in terms of comparability and portability of qualifications.
one of the greatest challenges in referencing national systems in a common framework is posed by the changes over time in qualification systems.
others will follow this year. citizens across europe are already benefiting from the eqf level on their diplomas and certificates.
i know that you are currently working on a report on the skills agenda and i look forward to reading this.
this is why phase two of the eqf represents an evolution and not a revolution. compared to the two thousand and eight text the eight qualification levels remain unchanged.
in the almost ten years since it was established it has helped to make qualifications more transparent and therefore more comparable across europe.
eqf levels will feature on individuals' diplomas and certificates and member states participating countries and social partners indeed also social partners will continue to meet at european level to agree the correct referencing of each qualification framework. but the world of qualifications does not stay still.
pilots to date have been done by new zealand australia and hong kong but this is not done in isolation.
the goal is transparency and understanding.
it helps to better understand and compare qualifications that are part of these systems.
of. two thousand and twelve member states are invited by the eqf to incorporate this validation in their national qualification frameworks.
indeed for the eqf what counts are the outcomes of learning and not the duration or the institution where the learning took place.
we will also look more closely at the reality on the ground through studies and peer learning activities.
this group created in two thousand and nine has proven its value in building trust between member states and its work will continue.
this will happen even more in the future. qualifications and national qualification frameworks are adapting. this is why the new eqf recommendation proposes a continuous updating of the referencing process in order to ensure that this keeps
the new eqf will build upon what we have achieved.
day. the new eqf also brings more clarity on international qualifications such as sectoral or industry qualifications.
people are increasingly learning in different settings and are rightly demanding that this learning and experience is better recognised.
regarding a better understanding of third country qualifications the proposal includes a specific recommendation on exploring such comparisons.
we will continue our work together with the advisory group to better communicate about the eqf and to improve its outreach to citizens and employers.
this will be achieved by expert and peer support to member states for their levelling.
the eqf therefore fully respects and protects each national education and training system.
linked to this a call for the proper recognition and validation of non formal and informal learning in line with the dedicated council recommendation
ensuring the consistency of eqf implementation is the task of the eqf advisory group.
the key principle remains this is a transparency tool not a recognition tool.
