Mr. Speaker, we are very much committed to taking action on greenhouse gases. We are doing this notwithstanding having to dig ourselves out of a deep hole, after many years of neglect.
In fact, today there was a statement, a joint declaration, an EU declaration, with Chancellor Merkel, who is president of the EU. I would like to read from it because we did indicate that, together with the EU, we are convinced that tackling climate change and ensuring clean, secure and affordable supplies of energy are central interlinked global challenges:
Addressing these issues requires urgent, sustained global action and an integrated policy approach, using a wide range of regionally, nationally or internationally defined policy tools and measures.
That is what we are doing. We are working together with them.
