Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the joint fulfilment of commitments thereunder

The committee adopted the report by Jorge MOREIRA DA SILVA (EPP-ED, P) approving (under the consultation procedure) the proposal to conclude the Kyoto Protocol. In the legislative resolution, the committee insisted that the 1998 burden-sharing agreement be fully observed. It also called for subsequent Commission proposals for reduction targets and burden-sharing between the Member States to be based on the codecision procedure so that Parliament would be fully involved. �
