Calls on the Commission to seek a 0% tariff agreement in the Doha Development Round for environmentally preferable goods and services, notably renewable energy technologies as they are preferable to energy derived from fossil fuels; calls on the Commission to work towards building a consensus within the WTO on a definition for such goods and services, but recommends, as a starting point, a specific link to climate change; stresses that the elimination of tariffs would reduce the cost of grid-connected technologies and increase the affordability of these technologies in the portfolio of generating options available to electricity utilities, as well as level the playing field between some aid-financed goods and goods imported through normal market transactions; c alls on the Commission, at the same time, to explore WTO-compatible mechanisms and climate friendly trade policies to address the issue of third countries which are not bound by the Kyoto Protocol;
