REITERATES that the promotion of sustainable consumption and production is one of the key challenges for the EU and that economic growth must be further decoupled from negative environmental impacts and must be achieved within the carrying capacity of ecosystems; WELCOMES the Commission's intention to present a Sustainable Consumption and Production Action Plan and an Action Plan on Sustainable Industrial Policy as early as possible in 2008; EXPECTS the Action Plans to contain concrete objectives and actions such as reducing negativ ...[+++]e environmental impact by providing a framework for the design and introduction of new or improved products and establishing favourable market conditions for environmentally-friendly technologies, products and services, elements for setting targets to improve energy and resource efficiency, promoting continuous improvement of performance labelling schemes, improving existing economic instruments, promoting their wider use and mechanisms for their follow-up, enhancing internalisation of external costs, as well as promoting environmental management schemes and sustainable consumption and sustainable lifestyles; INVITES the Commission to present its Communication on Green Public Procurement in 2008, and ENCOURAGES the Commission to explore different measures, including the possibility of setting targets, which should enable the EU and the Member States to reach the objective of fulfilling by 2010 an EU average level of Green Public Procurement equal to that currently achieved by the best performing Member States, and to establish a process involving the Member States for the identification of Green Public Procurement criteria and follow-up; UNDERLINES the need for a more sustainable use of natural resources in the EU, in relation also to the impact of this resources use beyond our continent, as highlighted in the Council conclusions of 23 October 2006;

STRESSES the need to achieve greater synergies between climate change and biodiversity policies as a way to secure co-benefits, in particular by strengthening mutually supportive activities and measures with regard to climate change mitigation, including reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and adaptation, as well as with regard to the production and consumption of and trade in biofuels and biomass and associated concerns regarding conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystems; ENCOURAGES th ...[+++]e Member States and the Commission to strengthen efforts aimed at halting biodiversity loss by 2010 also through the implementation of actions included in the Communication on Halting the Loss of Biodiversity by 2010 – and Beyond, and in its Action Plan, as referred to in the Council conclusions of 18 December 2006; STRESSES that full implementation of the Natura 2000 network both on land and at sea is an essential step towards reaching this objective; URGES the Commission and the Member States to develop efficient and cost-effective policy means for integrating biodiversity concerns into policies and programmes of all relevant sectors, to ensure that further economic development does not take place at the expense of biodiversity and that biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides can continue to contribute to sustainable economic development; UNDERLINES the importance of engaging all actors, notably business, to protect biodiversity, and in this context RECALLS the need to further promote the EU Business and Biodiversity Initiative; STRESSES the importance of accompanying these actions with the implementation of the Communication strategy foreseen in the EU Action Plan which should include awareness raising activities targeted at different interest groups; STRESSES the need to increase efforts to strengthen the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and significantly reduce the rate of biodiversity ...

RECOGNISES that, in a global context of competitive markets, the risk of carbon leakage is a concern in certain sectors particularly exposed to international competition, that needs to be analysed and addressed urgently in order for appropriate measures to be implemented in the event that other countries do not commit to taking adequate measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the context of an international agreement; WELCOMES the presentation by the Commission of its proposal on the EU ETS review, addressing the four key elements which were confirmed by the Council in its conclusions of 28 June 2007; RECALLS that the EU ETS forms an essential part of an integrated climate and energy policy and that the revised Directive should enh ...[+++]ance the cost-effectiveness of the necessary emission reductions; furthermore STRESSES that it should enable the EU ETS to link to other mandatory emissions trading systems capping absolute emissions; CALLS FOR strengthening the use of flexibility mechanisms resulting from projects implemented in third countries which have concluded the international agreement; RECALLS that the objective of proposing a regulatory framework on carbon capture and storage (CCS), as presented by the Commission, is to ensure that this novel technology is deployed in an environmentally safe way, which will be demonstrated through projects, as agreed by the European Council in Spring 2007; INVITES the Commission to considerer the potential role of chemical and other sequestration techniques in developing the future research agenda for energy technology; STRESSES that, in accordance with the conclusions of the European Council of March 2007, the binding nature of the ambitious target for the use of biofuels in overall EU transport consumption to be introduced in a cost-efficient way is appropriate subject to production being sustainable, the fulfilment of effective sustainability criteria and second-generation biofuels becoming commercially available ...
