Renewal of the European Parliament's Environmental Policy: extract from the signing ceremony

SOUNDBITE (English), Jerzy Karol BUZEK, EP President, We kow very well: electricity from renewable resources ; recycling and saving paper, which is very important as well, 17% . I'm very delighted that Mr Secretary general has launched a study last week with a view to install a general scheme for offsetting carbon emissions in the EP , so we can use it in the future . it is also our individual responsibility to take care about offsetting and to try offset as much of our travel as possible.

SOUNDBITE (French), Isabelle DURANT (Greens/EFA, BE), Its important that this Parliament and the environment committee shouldn't just passed legislation but also should set a good example by doing it. But in order to set a good example the tools, the instruments that we used need to be real tools.
