Herr Präsident, Frau Kommissarin! Die diese Woche zur Abstimmung stehenden Verhandlungsergebnisse der  Bei der Reform des Emissionshandels haben wir erreicht, dass weitere Sektoren einbezogen werden und dass das Angebot an Freizertifikaten schrittweise abgebaut wird. Wir schaffen die erforderlichen Anreize für Unternehmen, in klimafreundliche Technologien zu investieren. Denn die Praxis hat uns in der Vergangenheit gezeigt, dass mit der Streichung solcher Freizertifikate mehr in Innovation und Forschung investiert wird und dass der Einsparungsgedanke sowie der Nachhaltigkeitsgedanke auch in der Industrie die notwendige Umsetzung besser und schneller vorantreiben. Es geht nämlich schließlich auch um eine starke und wettbewerbsfähige europäische Industrie und um einen wirklichen und sehr effizienten Klimaschutz mit Hausverstand.

Hr formand! Vi har lovet at reducere EU's CO2-udledninger med mindst 55 procent i 2030. Det løfte, det skal holdes. Derfor er denne her debat lige så alvorlig, som den er lang. Men der er altså også noget komisk over titlen på pakken med de mange direktiver. "Fit for 55", som jo ikke handler om overgangsalderen, men om omstillingen fra et fossilt til et grønt EU. Det ved vi godt. Alligevel så har vi fniset indimellem, hvilket er okay. For godt humør, det skader aldrig, og det får vi brug for. For evnen til at grine gør, at størrelsen og kompleksiteten af de samfundsforandringer, vi står overfor netop nu, bliver til at holde ud og have med at gøre. Forhåbentlig. Det er sikkert et tilfælde, men lige nu – det er altså også lidt sjovt – har vi et svensk formandskab et eller andet sted. Og så har vi her i Parlamentet som svenske kokke fra Muppet-showet ind imellem kastet rundt med grønne krav og høje ambitioner, mens vi har opdateret de her mange direktiver og opfundet nye love. Spørgsmålet er så, om det, vi har bakset sammen i det politiske køkken, nu også smager godt ude i virkeligheden. "EU Green deal" er meget "green" og mange tak for det. Men er den en "deal"? Kan den det, den skal uden at smadre vores virksomheder og den økonomi, vi har brug for til at kunne gøre det, vi gerne vil for klimaet. Men hvis den så alligevel heller ikke leverer de nødvendige CO2-reduktioner, som vi har lovet. Hvis det sker, så bliver der ikke så meget at grine af i fremtiden, og det kan jeg i hvert fald ikke se det sjove i.

Signor Presidente, siccità, fenomeni meteorologici estremi e la dipendenza energetica da paesi non europei ci stanno dimostrando che la transizione energetica non è più rinviabile. È molto chiaro quanto sia alto il costo sociale e ambientale dei ritardi accumulati negli anni, che puntualmente si scaricano sui soggetti più deboli della nostra società, alimentando povertà e diseguaglianze. Oggi 55 milioni di cittadini europei, più di uno su dieci, non riescono a pagare le bollette. Ciò dimostra che la transizione energetica è destinata a fallire se non la affrontiamo con ambizione e pragmatismo. Il Fondo sociale per il clima è quindi necessario per quelle famiglie che non hanno i mezzi sufficienti per rendere più sostenibili energeticamente le loro abitazioni, ma anche per le piccole aziende che non riescono a ridurre le emissioni nei trasporti su strada e nell'edilizia e che hanno bisogno quindi di essere accompagnate con politiche e strumenti mirati. Mentre le destre portano avanti battaglie anacronistiche e propongono sovvenzioni spot, noi socialisti abbiamo trovato soluzioni e risorse per consentire a tutti di sostenere economicamente i costi della transizione. È così che noi pensiamo al presente e al futuro delle aziende e dei nostri cittadini per non lasciare indietro nessuno.

Monsieur le Président, il y a des moments où la politique tient parole et où la promesse devient réalité. En votant pour la création du mécanisme d’ajustement carbone aux frontières, nous allons voir enfin advenir ce mécanisme de protection que nous espérions depuis longtemps. Enfin, l’Europe sort de la naïveté et la politique environnementale ne consiste pas seulement à imposer des règles de plus en plus compliquées à ceux qui produisent en Europe, tout en ouvrant nos marchés au vaste monde sans restriction. Enfin, nous allons faire en sorte que ceux qui importent en Europe assument les mêmes règles et la même contribution carbone. Évidemment, il aura fallu du temps et il aura fallu tout le travail accompli depuis 2019, et je voudrais remercier tous les collègues qui y ont contribué. Que de temps perdu depuis ces dernières décennies, que de temps pendant lequel nous aurons vu détruire des emplois, détruire de la valeur dans notre propre continent. Mais aujourd’hui, enfin, nous voyons ce premier point acquis et cette bataille remportée. C’était la promesse que nous avions faite pendant la campagne européenne, celle d’une barrière écologique. Elle devient réalité. Maintenant, ce vote ne doit pas être un point d’arrivée, c’est un point de départ. Il faut continuer à travailler. Dès demain, nous tenterons de compléter ce qui manque encore dans ce mécanisme – faire en sorte qu’il inclue les produits manufacturés pour que nous ne puissions pas voir advenir de nouvelles vagues de délocalisations; faire en sorte aussi que nous protégions notre continent contre tous ceux qui tenteront peut-être de tricher, de contourner ce mécanisme; imposer enfin, demain, une vraie barrière carbone qui permettra d’entraîner tous les producteurs mondiaux dans la décarbonation pour préserver notre environnement. C’est ce défi qui reste devant nous. Mais cette première partie gagnée doit nous permettre de continuer.

Г-н Председател, само допреди няколко десетилетия природните ресурси са изглеждали неизчерпаеми в очите на предшествениците ни и затова те рядко са проявявали интерес към производството, съобразено с капацитета на Земята. Днес глобалната екологична криза, водеща до сериозни климатични промени, заплашва съществуването на самото човечество. Чрез неразумно използване на ресурсите човешки цивилизации сами са причинявали необратими промени в околната среда, в резултат на които самите те са изчезвали. И наивно е допускането, че можем да избегнем тази съдба, ако не променим отношението си към природата.  Днес климатичните промени, изчерпването на ресурсите и замърсяването са стигнали критична точка. Колкото и да не ни се иска, след свръхпроизводството и свръхпотреблението ще се наложи да поставим и ограничения. И ако искаме да дадем шанс на поколенията след нас в крайна сметка, ако искаме бъдещето да е възможно и утре, ще се наложи да рискуваме и може би да платим висока цена. Но тя не може да се сравни, имам предвид цената, с жертвите, които броим при всеки пожар, суша или наводнение. Жертви, които ще стават все повече ако продължаваме да се бавим.   На нас се пада отговорността да не пропиляваме и този шанс, който може би е един от последните ни, и се надявам, че всички в тази зала си дават сметка какъв е залогът, как дискутираните днес закони не търпят отлагане. Тези, особено с поглед към уязвимите, бедните и работещите и как и колко всъщност е ограничено времето, с което разполагаме, за да приведем всичките тези мерки в изпълнение.

Poštovani potpredsjedniče, povjerenice, izvjestitelji, kolegice i kolege, pri postizanju klimatskih ciljeva ključno je da energetska tranzicija ne dovede do urušavanja konkurentnosti europske industrije te da bude pravedna prema građanima, koji se boje da će uz opću inflaciju morati snositi dodatni trošak zelene tranzicije.  Zato je važno da će se Socijalnim fondom za klimatsku politiku podržati siromašna kućanstva i mala poduzeća kojima je pomoć najviše potrebna. Njime će se financirati konkretne mjere za rješavanje problema energetskog i mobilnog siromaštva.  Nadalje, zeleni plan mora zrcaliti načelo solidarnosti. U Europi ne smije biti građana prvog i drugog reda. Zato posebno pozdravljam povećanje fonda za modernizaciju kojim se podupire deset država članica, među kojima i Hrvatska, pri modernizaciji energetskih sustava i poboljšanju energetske učinkovitosti. Najvažnije je da provođenje europske zelene politike ne dovede do deindustrijalizacije Europe i urušavanja životnog standarda naših građana.  Mada postignuti dogovor nije idealan, on sadrži mnoge mehanizme za zaštitu europskog načina života od ideološkog zelenog ekstremizma te ga u ovim okolnostima trebamo podržati.

Señor presidente, señora comisaria, Canarias, como región ultraperiférica, ha demostrado siempre su compromiso para combatir el cambio climático. Pero, cuando hablamos de conectividad, la gran dependencia que tienen las regiones ultraperiféricas de las conexiones aéreas y marítimas no es comparable con la de ningún otro territorio.  Nos jugamos mucho en este paquete legislativo porque no tenemos alternativa a nuestra movilidad, al suministro de bienes o a la llegada de turistas. Vivimos de ello y queremos seguir viviendo de ello. Necesitamos claramente un régimen diferenciado que sea plenamente compatible con nuestro modelo económico.  Es cierto que se nos ha concedido una mayor flexibilidad y más tiempo para adaptarnos, pero esto es claramente insuficiente. Pedimos una exoneración total y más allá de 2030 del coste de los derechos de emisión generados por el transporte marítimo y aéreo, tanto dentro del territorio español como fuera de él. Necesitamos que sigan viniendo turistas a nuestras islas y que no se les grave de manera injusta.  Estamos a tiempo de ampliar el alcance de las excepciones para las regiones ultraperiféricas. Hay base jurídica en el artículo 349 del Tratado. Que la falta de voluntad política y la ausencia de solidaridad no pongan en riesgo el futuro inmediato de estas regiones tan lejanas, pero tan europeas como todas las demás.

Spoštovani! Paket Pripravljeni na 55 je ambiciozen del  Želimo na eni strani pomagati podnebju, se znebiti toplogrednih plinov, po drugi strani tudi omejiti sploh dostop in vstop CO2-ja z drugih kontinentov preko produktov, hkrati pa s Socialnim skladom pomagati tistim, ki jih bo ta prihod zadel, prehod najbolj prizadel. Cena energije se je po vojni v Ukrajini zelo dvignila. V Sloveniji po 68 letih zapiramo proizvodnjo aluminija. Po drugi strani moramo misliti na ljudi, ki bivajo v hribih in rabijo vozila, in bodo energenti obremenjeni s kuponi. Prav tako je potrebno pomisliti, ne vem, na 16 milijonov Poljakov, ki imajo daljinsko ogrevanje. Zato delamo pomemben korak, hkrati pa je treba biti pozoren na to, da ne prizadenemo tistih, ki so najbolj ranljivi v teh razmerah.

Mr President, like everybody else, I very much welcome the Fit for 55 package. It truly demonstrates the way in which the European institutions have listened to the voices of its citizens as expressed in the ballot box in the European Parliament elections in 2019. The people wanted ambition, they wanted verifiable targets and they wanted accountability. And that has been delivered. While the primary purpose, of course, of the Fit for 55 package is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, it also reinforces European democracy by providing a clear link between the will of the people and transposing that into concrete legislation that we will vote on in the European Parliament this week. I would also like to say that it is a concrete, practical application of the Sustainable Development Goals. These are not just theoretical and conceptual frameworks. The Sustainable Development Goals contain objectives and targets that can be achieved through our legislation. The Social Climate Fund is a perfect example of this, as well as the carbon border adjustment mechanism.

Domnule președinte, victoria are mulți tați, dar înfrângerea este orfană. Azi, când votăm acest mare pachet climatic, spunem toți, cât am făcut pentru mediu, cât am făcut pentru planetă. Dar aș vrea să spunem același lucru și când mergem în capitalele noastre, în țările noastre de unde venim. Și nu să fugim de responsabilitate, nu să dăm vina pe UE. Vreau să spunem adevărul. Dacă aveam deja pachetul acesta, dacă aveam deja energie regenerabilă, noi am fi fost mult mai bine iarna asta, facturile ar fi fost mult mai mici pentru oameni.  Eu am fost responsabil de CBAM, de prețul pe care îl punem celor din afara Uniunii, care nu respectă mediul. Românii spun pe bună dreptate: nu este ok ca noi să respectăm anumite standarde de mediu, iar cei din exterior să nu le respecte. Nu este nici ok ca întreprinderile să se mute de la noi în China, așa încât să nu trebuiască să respecte mediul, pentru că acolo chiar nu contează. Colegi, este important să acționăm împreună, ca lideri. Liderii nu fug de responsabilitate, liderii nu se ascund și dacă vom vorbi cu aceeași voce, atunci vom da mediului de afaceri o predictibilitate și tinerilor o planetă.

Panie Przewodniczący! Rozszerzenie Europejskiego Systemu Handlu Emisjami na nowe sektory, które zaplanowano na 2027 rok, przyniesie ze sobą negatywne skutki społeczne z uwagi na wzrost cen paliw oraz opłat związanych z ogrzewaniem domów paliwami kopalnymi. Oczywiste jest, iż takie zapisy uderzą najbardziej w takie kraje jak mój kraj, Polska, w których wciąż bardzo duża część społeczeństwa ogrzewa domy węglem lub gazem oraz gdzie liczba samochodów elektrycznych w użyciu pozostaje niewielka.  Do 2027 roku nie wszyscy będą mogli wymienić swoje ogrzewanie na pompę ciepła bądź fotowoltaikę, ponieważ nie każdego będzie na to stać. Spowoduje to dalsze koszty dla naszych obywateli, którzy już teraz borykają się z kryzysem energetycznym, wysokimi cenami surowców i inflacją. Słuchając tej debaty, mam wrażenie, że nie wszyscy zdają sobie z tego sprawę, i to mnie, niestety, i moich rodaków martwi.

Mr President, these legislative files are supposed to contribute to the EU’s goal of reducing its overall emissions by at least 55% by 2030.  Firstly, that 55% reduction target is far too low, given the EU’s historical contribution to global rising temperatures and the EU’s capacity to reduce its emissions.  But secondly, the individual legislative files that are part of the Fit for 55 package are – after the legislative process has been completed – failing to add up to the overall 55% reduction target. The final outcome of the emission trading system process is unfit to contribute towards the EU’s goal of reducing its overall emissions by at least 55% by 2030, and is way off the mark for what is required to keep temperature rises within the relatively safe zone of 1.5°C.  The ETS has failed to deliver any meaningful reductions in industrial emissions from sectors such as steel, cement and chemicals. This is mainly due to the billions of free pollution permits given to energy—intensive industries under the scheme – and now we’re repeating the same mistake again.

Pane předsedající, lidé a mladí lidé zejména protestují proti dopadům klimatické změny na jejich životy, proti zhoršování těchto důsledků. Vidíme to každý rok, sucho, bavíme se o něm zde v jednacím sále téměř každý rok, extrémní srážky oproti tomu. Vidíme růst mořské hladiny. Toto jsou všechno důsledky lidské činnosti a my se tomuto růstu musíme postavit. Náš závazek pětapadesáti procent po přepočítání lepšího využívání půdy díky klimatickém balíčku, který tímto přivádíme v život, vlastně dosahuje padesáti sedmi procent. Investujeme do energetické účinnosti, do obnovitelných zdrojů, dotýkáme se letecké a námořní dopravy. Tento balíček bude mít samozřejmě i trochu negativní dopady na životy lidí. Musíme je zde také zmínit, ale vyrovnáváme se s nimi díky sociálnímu klimatickému fondu, který jsme rovněž zřídili. Podle mě je důležité říci, že jediným zásadním momentem pro naši budoucnost je udržitelnost. A to je klimatická neutralita.

Senhor Presidente, do que tratamos hoje é do aprofundamento do perverso e ineficaz instrumento da compra e venda do direito a poluir, alargando o comércio de licenças de emissões a um maior número de setores. Alarga-se o escopo, incrementam-se exigências sobre os Estados, impõe-se um caminho que contribuirá para o agravamento de desigualdades e assimetrias, para fenómenos de concentração económica e produtiva, e que passa aos povos e aos trabalhadores a fatura dos lucros e interesses económicos de alguns. Tanto assim é que criam agora um fundo de mitigação do impacto deste caminho sobre as pessoas, um fundo dito social e climático que, ademais de insuficiente e com um leque reduzido de beneficiários, penaliza singularmente Portugal, discriminando de forma injustificada um país da coesão. Já o dissemos e voltamos a afirmar: os problemas ambientais da atualidade exigem uma abordagem normativa, por oposição a instrumentos de mercado, que fixe objetivos de redução de acordo com critérios justos e eficazes, segundo o princípio da responsabilidade comum, mas diferenciada.

Mr President, we are talking about Fit for 55 against the backdrop of the revision of the European emissions trading scheme for the aviation sector. We all know that the biggest question in this area has always been the issue of long haul flights accounting for 6% of flights from the EEA, but responsible for about half of the CO2 and NOx emissions.  Yet under the new EU legislation, these flights are going to continue to be covered by the much cheaper UN CORSIA offset scheme, rather than our European emissions trading scheme. Obviously we need to be doing a hell of a lot more, but there are powerful forces in the way, and when governments make decisions that are often being blocked. We’ve seen the decision by the Dutch Government to reduce the capacity of Schiphol Airport being taken to court by many airlines.  The same airport, when it abandoned the creation of a new runway, banned night flights and private jets which emit a lot more – 20 times more – than commercial flights, should have been an example for Europe, but yet they were blocked. We’ve seen the same thing with France trying to ban domestic flights in the case of a 2.5 hour rail alternative.  We’ve got to stop talking out of both sides of our mouth. Choosing between a habitable environment or airline profits should never be a difficult choice.
