Г-жо Председател, г-н Комисар, утре ни предстои може би най-важното гласуване в рамките на този мандат. Най-важното гласуване за това как ще осъществим трансформацията на европейската икономика, така че да постигнем заложените климатични цели. Но докато ние говорим за климатична неутралност и намаляване на емисиите, много от най-бедните граждани на държавите членки се питат дали утре ще имат работа, как ще си платят сметките за ток и как ще посрещнат базовите си разходи за живот. За тези хора Зелената сделка е синоним на несигурност, на неясна промяна, която ще ги направи по-бедни отколкото са. Те не обмислят покупка на електрически автомобил и соларни панели, защото дори топлоизолацията на домовете им е инвестиция, за която се налага да пестят с години. Нека не забравяме тези хора, когато днес проправяме пътя на промяната, оформяйки законите, по които тя ще се случи. Нека не позволяваме бедните да станат по-бедни. И съм убеден, че постигането на климатичните цели не трябва да бъде за сметка на най-уязвимите, на техните доходи и на техните работни места. Надявам се също, че Социалният фонд за климата ще бъде гарантът за това. Той трябва да позволи на всички европейски граждани да се възползват от средствата, които климатичните политики ще генерират. Средствата от търговия с емисии, които в момента се разходват непрозрачно, могат да се превърнат в ефективен инструмент срещу енергийната бедност. Като социалдемократ съм удовлетворен, че успяхме да постигнем компромис, с който голяма част от тези приходи ще бъде насочена към мерки за енергийна ефективност, инвестиция в мобилност, нулеви емисии и намаляване на броя на уязвимите домакинства. А като представител на Източна Европа призовавам нашите правителства да засилят действията си в онази посока, която не само ще ускори енергийния преход, но и ще го направи ефективен и справедлив за всички.

Arvoisa puhemies, hyvä komissaari, tämän keskustelun aikana olemme puhuneet paljon oikeudenmukaisuudesta, mutta jokainen meistä tietää, että oikeudenmukaisuus on aika vaikea käsite. Komission jäsen puhui, että ketään ei jätetä, mutta siitä huolimatta olemme tilanteessa, jossa nämä erilaisuudet helposti synnyttävät käsittämättömiä tilanteita, joista oikeudenmukaisuus on aika kaukana.  Puhumme biologisesta monimuotoisuudesta, mutta monimuotoisuuskin tapahtuu eri maissa eri tahdissa ja esimerkiksi mutaatiot tapahtuvat hyvin eri tavalla erilaisissa metsissä ja ovat sidoksissa eliön elämänkaareen ja biologiseen ikään. On myös ilmiöitä, jotka ovat vaikeasti mitattavissa. Miten paljon suomalaista metsää tarvitaan esimerkiksi korvaamaan hollantilaisen sian päästöjä? Minä en tätä tiedä. Epäilen, että komissaari Timmermanskaan ei tiedä tätä, mutta katsotaan, jos vastauksia vielä löytyy.  Rakennusten lämmitys on aiheuttanut paljon ongelmia ja kiistaa. Suurin osa suomalaisista asunnoista on jo kaukolämmön tai lämpöpumppujen varassa eli meille siirtymä olisi ollut aika helppo. Toisille se olisi ollut erittäin vaikeaa. Olemme kuitenkin nyt ilmeisesti pakotettuja siirtymään tulevaisuuteen tavalla, joka ei ole välttämättä Suomen kannalta hyvä mutta joka on sosiaalisesti muille maille merkityksellistä. Mutta näette, että taistelemme jatkuvasti erilaisten mittareiden kanssa, ja aina ei löydy oikeita vastauksia.  Tammikuussa keskustelimme komissaarin kanssa, mikä on tässä uudistuksessa vaikeinta. Hän totesi, että energian ylläpitäminen on vaikeinta, ja se oli siis tammikuussa. Helmikuun 24. päivä tämäkin muuttui paljon, paljon vaikeammaksi. Mutta tästä kaikesta huolimatta äänestän tämän esityksen puolesta.

Madam President, colleagues. Commissioner Timmermans, we’ve always said the Green Deal should also be a social deal and we have now a unique opportunity to actually make that happen. We have to support the most vulnerable in the climate transition and at the same time make the biggest polluters pay. Now we managed to protect families from a new carbon price and we will invest EUR 44.5 billion EU funding into supporting them in social climate measures. That means, for instance, insulation of social housing, that means more and better investments in affordable public transport.  Now let’s make absolutely sure that we focus on lifting those vulnerable households out of energy and mobility poverty – not only SMEs as the EPP is proposing. We already have enough funds to support those SMEs and at the same time there’s nothing to support the poorest families. How is that even possible when people right now can’t even afford to heat their own homes?  Finally, we need to make those biggest polluters pay, and that means getting rid of the free allowances as soon as possible. I’m actually quite amazed that the EPP wants to delay the phase-out of those free allowances even beyond 2030, especially with CBAM kicking in.  Colleagues, let’s vote this down. Otherwise we can simply forget the people’s support for the climate transition, because social and environmental justice cannot be separated.

Frau Präsidentin! Mit der vorliegenden legislativen Umsetzung des grünen Deals nimmt die gefährliche Utopie eines ökosozialistischen Brüsseler Haftungs- und Umverteilungsstaates weiter Gestalt an. Der Markt wird außer Kraft gesetzt, die Industrie aus der EU vertrieben – woran auch die kaum durchführbare bürokratische Grenzausgleichssteuer nichts ändern wird – und der Bürger enteignet, entmündigt und kontrolliert. Man will ihn bei Konsum- und Mobilitätsmustern [sic] umerziehen, mit Verboten und massiver CO2-Bepreisung, die – welch Wunder – als Folge schon jetzt zu explodierenden Preisen geführt hat. Der Gipfel der Idiotie und Ideologie ist erreicht, wenn man dem besteuerten Bürger gnädig einen winzigen Teil der abgepressten CO2‑Zwangserziehungsabgabe in Form eines Klima-Sozialfonds – politisches Wohlverhalten vorausgesetzt – überlässt, um dessen herbeigeführte Energiearmut zu lindern. Nicht mündige Bürger, marktwirtschaftliche Prinzipien, technikoffene Innovationskraft sind das Problem, sondern die Idee eines „bolschewoken“ Ökomarxismus.

Señora presidenta, « El proceso de descarbonización de la economía es un objetivo legítimo en sí. Hacerlo en condiciones en que los perjuicios seguros superen todos los beneficios posibles no lo es en absoluto. Utilizar legítimas expectativas del ciudadano en un entorno más limpio para imponer un modelo económico y social impregnado de ideología intervencionista, socialista y climática es peor que ilegítimo. Es una estafa a las naciones europeas. Hacerlo sin apenas estudios de impacto y con nula base científica es, además, un atentado contra la seguridad y el bienestar de los europeos. El paquete tiene objetivos irreales que están en las antípodas de las necesidades de los sectores afectados por las propuestas sobre el uso de la tierra, el reparto del esfuerzo, el comercio de emisiones o el mecanismo de ajuste de carbono en frontera. Las consecuencias serán una mayor deslocalización de nuestras empresas y un aumento de la dependencia en sectores industriales estratégicos, con un impacto desmedido sobre las clases más desfavorecidas que en nada paliará esa hoja de parra del Fondo Social. Con esos mimbres, el paquete climático

Κυρία Πρόεδρε, Κύριε Timmermans, αυτή η μετάβαση γίνεται για να μας προστατεύσει από τον μεγάλο κίνδυνο της κλιματικής καταστροφής και να μας οδηγήσει στην απεξάρτηση από τα ορυκτά καύσιμα και την ανεξέλεγκτη άνοδο των τιμών τους, που απειλεί την ανθεκτικότητα των κοινωνιών και της δημοκρατίας. Έχουμε την ευκαιρία να μεταβούμε από μία οικονομία της ενεργειακής πενίας σε μια οικονομία ενεργειακής αφθονίας. Είναι λάθος να αντιλαμβανόμαστε την απανθρακοποίηση σαν κόστος, ενώ είναι η βάση μιας νέας οικονομικής έκρηξης. Έχουμε ήδη βιώσει τα αποτελέσματα των αυξανόμενων επιστροφών των δημοσίων επενδύσεων στην ανάπτυξη και τη διείσδυση των ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας, που αποτελούν σήμερα τη φθηνότερη πηγή ενέργειας και την ταχύτερα αναπτυσσόμενη αγορά εργασίας.  Το Κοινωνικό Ταμείο για το Κλίμα είναι ίσως ο σπουδαιότερος φάκελος, γιατί σηματοδοτεί την εγκατάλειψη του δόγματος της τέλειας αγοράς και προχωρά στην οικοδόμηση ενός νέου κράτους κλιματικής πρόνοιας. Είναι η απόδειξη ότι μάθαμε το μάθημα των κίτρινων γιλέκων και αντιλαμβανόμαστε ότι εάν επιμείνουμε να εκμεταλλευόμαστε, αντί να επενδύουμε στους πιο ευάλωτους, την επόμενη φορά θα δούμε μαύρους χιτώνες, ότι για να επιτύχει η πράσινη μετάβαση, θα πρέπει να είναι δίκαια. Το Κοινωνικό Ταμείο για το Κλίμα, όπως προτάθηκε, δεν ήταν ικανό ούτε να μετριάσει τις αρνητικές επιπτώσεις της μετάβασης ούτε να συμβάλει στην ανάληψη τολμηρής μετασχηματιστής δράσης για τη συστημική αλλαγή, προκειμένου να οικοδομηθεί ένα βιώσιμο ασφαλές και ανθηρό μέλλον για όλους.  Σήμερα, η συμβιβαστική πρόταση του Κοινοβουλίου έχει τη δυνατότητα να στείλει αυτό το ισχυρό μήνυμα, να κατευθύνει το Ταμείο το Κλίμα στη χρηματοδότηση πράσινων επενδύσεων, στη στέγαση και τις μεταφορές, προς όφελος των πλέον ευάλωτων πολιτών και της ευρωπαϊκής οικονομίας και δημοκρατίας. Θεωρούμε, τέλος, σημαντικό στη διάρκεια του λόγου να κατοχυρωθεί η συμμετοχή όλων των ενδιαφερομένων σε κάθε βήμα των κοινωνικών σχεδίων για το κλίμα, ώστε να επιτευχθεί η λαϊκή συμμετοχή, η δημόσια αποδοχή και η διαφάνεια.

Poštovana predsjedavajuća, poštovani kolege, poštovani građani, proglašavanjem ugljičnog dioksida i fosilnih goriva narodnim neprijateljima država Europske unije je potpuno suludo. Na tim gorivima mi smo stvorili modernu civilizaciju i imamo standard kakav imamo.  Sada, nametanjem enormnih novih poreza na sve proizvođače, koji normalno u tijeku proizvodnje emitiraju CO2, dovest će do kolapsa i katastrofe europskog gospodarstva. Bit ćemo potpuno nekonkurentni u ostatku svijeta, a učinak na klimatske promjene, to što ćemo nas 500 milijuna učiniti, bit će potpuno zanemariv u odnosu na učinak što napravi devet i pol milijardi ljudi na svijetu.  Prije 30 godina Kinezi su živjeli u stanovima bez grijanja i vozili se biciklima jer bolje nisu mogli, a sada, u sljedećih 30 godina, to ćemo činiti mi u Europskoj uniji jer si bolje nećemo moći priuštiti.

Madam President, when witnessing the climate debate, it sometimes feels a little bit like an auction. The highest bidder is regarded as the winner. But I believe that there are actors bidding without actually caring if they can cover the costs. As negotiator of the ETS, I have seen this behaviour as well, with the Greens wanting to remove protection from carbon leakage as early as possible, not taking into account all the pathways looks like. And you can’t just tap your finger and get new carbon—free industry in place over a day. It has to be approved, constructed and for some sectors we still need innovation to get where we want. We can’t control this by our whims because we are politicians, not magicians. Our industries in Europe are on board with the Green Deal. We should be proud of how they invest and innovate to show that we can combine competitiveness with the Green Deal. We need to lead them along this path, to reward the best performers, to incentivise those lagging behind, while protecting them from unfair competition from China and India. The outcome from the Environment Committee, unfortunately, does not do that. It’s just going to hurt European competitiveness, threaten our jobs and risk increased emissions outside of Europe. I therefore urge Members to support the outcome on this from the Industry Committee instead.

Tisztelt Elnök Asszony! Hogyan lehet jól kormányozni, hogyan lehet jó döntéseket hozni? Minden tisztességes politikusnak erre kell válaszolnia, ezeket a kérdéseket kell feltennie. Én azt javaslom Önöknek, képviselőtársaim, hogy amikor szavaznak, akkor azoknak az európaiaknak az arca legyen maguk előtt, azoknak a millióknak az arca, akik bérből, fizetésből élve, havi bevételeiket beosztva minden egyes hónapban megküzdenek azért, hogy minden számlát kifizessenek. Azoknak az arca, akik nem azért nem vesznek elektromos autót, vagy nem azért nem laknak passzív házban, mert nem szeretnének, hanem mert a gázkazán elromlásakor annak megjavítása, vagy éppen a gyerekeknek egy új cipő vásárlása is gondot okoz. Amikor döntéseket akarunk hozni, akkor úgy kell őket meghozni, hogy az ő arcuk lebegjen a szemünk előtt. Már csak azért is, mert akkor leszünk sikeresek a klímaváltozás elleni harcban, akkor leszünk sikeresek Európa energiafüggetlenségének megteremtésében, hogyha rájuk gondolunk, ha velük együtt küzdünk, ha velük együtt megyünk végig ezen az úton. Az Európai Szociális Klímaalap létrehozása e tekintetben is történelmi tett. Történelmi tett, mert azt is mutatja, hogy Európa tanult a hibáiból, megtanulta a 2008–2009-es gazdasági válság után, hogy csak úgy tudunk egy erős, versenyképes világot építeni, hogyha közvetlenül segítjük az embereket abban, hogy ők is versenyképesek és erősek legyenek. Éppen ezért arra kérem Önöket, hogy szavazzanak az Európai Szociális Klímaalap létrehozására, és hozzuk létre úgy, hogy segítsük azokat az embereket, akiknek a mindennapi életben a mindennapok számláinak kifizetésében gondjaik vannak. Segítsük őket, és ne rájuk tegyük a terhet. Ez egy történelmi teszt lesz részünkről, és így fogunk tudni jól kormányozni. Így fogunk tudni jó döntéseket hozni.

Madam President, I’m so tired of people telling me that we need to act on climate change in order to care for future generations, that we need to replace our fossil energy by 2050 in order to promise a better future for our children. Well, I will not likely retire until 2060. That means that the 2050 targets are to be met when I will still be around, and this is within my generation. We need to act here and now on climate change, and we need to do it within my generation. We need to do it now. And the EU Emission Trading Scheme is the world’s most powerful climate tool that we have to combat fossil energy, and we really need to cherish that. But we also need to step up our game and we need to take it to the next level. And as negotiator for Renew, I’m therefore extremely proud of what we present to you today, because we need our emissions trading scheme to be the global example and to step up, and when both the left and the right have been in doubt, wanting to lower the ambitions, we in Renew have stepped up. We need to step up on the ambition level and that’s why we propose to raise the speed of emission reductions. We need to step up on the emissions covered, and that’s why we propose to include more sectors. We need to step up the investments in green technology, and that’s why we proposed a climate investment fund. We need new energy in Europe and we need to step up on all levels. Vi behöver ny energi till Europa och vi behöver skärpning på alla plan.

Madam President, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, dear Commissioner, finally, for the very first time, we do have a Social Climate Fund. Finally, for the very first time, we in the EU are not only talking about poverty, we are acting against poverty – energy and mobility poverty. As Greens, we always said that the Green Transition must also be just and should not increase inequalities. Taking part of this transition should not be a matter of income. When we know that the transition will not happen by night and not everybody has a means to install a new solar panel on their roofs and – hooray! – we solve the problem. That is why we need this new Social Climate Fund to help those who are most in need and provide structural change for them. As the scope of the new Social Climate Fund is limited, we Greens want to focus it on the most vulnerable groups: people in poverty, households, transport users and small entrepreneurs like the single mum in Hungary who cannot pay her energy bills anymore, the family in the countryside that does not have public transport available to reach the city and is now struggling with the gas prices. These problems are already reality. In the long term we do not want to invest in fossil fuels, but in projects that will help both in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and help households to save energy, switch to green energies and build local transport solutions. A last saying in German, because I followed the debate here and there about the whole change in climate, in Germany, we say: Wer nicht mit der Zeit geht, der geht mit der Zeit.

Arvoisa puhemies, laskelmien mukaan EU tuottaa kymmenen prosenttia päästöistä. Maapallon todelliset suursaastuttajat toimivat omilla aikatauluillaan. Niille on annettu aikalisiä Eurooppaan verraten. Meillä tavoitteiden kiristysprosenteista käydään kilpajuoksua, kuka suurimman luvun lyö pöytään. Näin näivetetään talouden kilpailukyky. Ei riitä, että Venäjä sekoittaa sotimisellaan maailmantalouden. Näillä toimillaan EU rasvaa omaa hirttoköyttään. Suuri tyhjä kupla näissä ilmastoarvoissa on, että tämä ns. vihreä siirtymä maksaa itse itsensä takaisin. Tosin ei ole esitetty, miten se tapahtuu. Ymmärrän kohtuuden ja järkevyyden ilmastoasioissakin, mutta nyt ollaan karkaamassa mielikuvitusmaailmaan. EU:n kolhoosi on kaadettava ja palattava alkuperäiseen vapaakauppa-alueeseen.

Г-жо Председател, според мен г-н Тимерманс избяга. Г-н Тимерманс, когото не виждам, Вашият пакет „Подготвени за цел 55“ си е чисто и просто план за унищожаването на малкия и средния бизнес. Социалният фонд за климата е прах в очите. Това е една комунистическа схема, която взима пари от богатите според Вас, за да ги даде на бедните пак според Вас. Така ще унищожите и работодателите, а парите изобщо няма да стигнат да се помогне на хората, които наистина се нуждаят. Обвързването на фонда с основната схема за търговия с емисии орязва бюджета до пълна безполезност. Освен това нито веднъж не споменавате енергийната криза заради войната в Украйна. Колко енергийно бедни произведе тя? За тях също няма да има пари. Като докладчик от ECR се опитах да балансирам този иначе безкрайно нужен механизъм за всички нас. За съжаление, тук болните амбиции надделяха над здравия разум. Вашата амбиция, г-н Тимерманс, ще счупи гръбнака на европейската икономика и ще произведе невероятно количество бедни и безработни – десетки милиони.
