00:01Good morning, everyone.
00:02Good morning.
00:07We agreed on the 2040 targets, on all the content of the climate law.
00:18We agreed on an NDC.
00:21So we have now the three pillars that the presidency was aiming for
00:26before we are going to jump into the plane to Berlin.
00:31We have the mandate.
00:33We have the EU climate law setting a binding target at 90% for 2040.
00:41And we have an NDC with a range that I can only hope that other countries
00:47in the world would aspire to meet our ambition level.
00:51The target is in line with science.
00:54It's needed not only for showing our global leadership in climate,
01:01but it's also there to give guidance to industry.
01:06I think the strongest dream in this planet is the European dream.
01:13It's a dream of a continent based on democracy that works together,
01:22securing the living conditions of Europeans at present times, but also in the future.
01:30a dream of a continent that will protect the competitiveness of its economy.
01:39And it is a dream of a continent that takes a leading role in this world in so many aspects,
01:47including the fight against climate change.
01:52I think the, and I'm convinced, the result both on the NDC and on the 2040 targets is excellent.
02:04And, of course, as always in politics, the road is never a straight line.
02:11It's not a national politics, at least not in my experience, and it is not a European politics.
02:17We have agreed to a legally binding headline 2040 target of 90%, with a domestic target of 85% and up to 5% international credits.
02:26We have reaffirmed the flexibilities that we've put on the table.
02:30As I'm sure you've seen, we are also postponing ETS 2 by one year, and we're adopting measures on the ETS 2 implementation framework to smoothen the launch of it.
02:42And we have upheld our commitment, of course, hugely important, of coming to Berlin with an ambitious NDC.
02:51Again, exactly the range that we have aimed for, 66.25 to 72.5.
02:58You do need to make sure that 27 countries need to find the landing zone.
03:02So is that two steps to the left and then one to the right or vice versa?
03:06Of course.
03:07And let's be relaxed about it.
03:09Let's be okay with that.
03:10That is the way the union works.
03:12We have a word for it.
03:13It's called democracy.
03:14Now they only have one question, right?
03:16And that is that.
03:28Do you have a word for it?
03:29Do you have one question, right?
03:33Do you have one question?
03:34What does that mean?
03:35What do you want to say, sir?
03:37Do you need to find a word for it?
03:39Do you know the word I'm not saying?
03:40You know, what do you want to say?
03:42You know, it's an answer.
03:43It's a good question.
03:44It's a good question.
03:45I'm sure you don't want to do it.
03:46You can't say what does it mean?
03:47What do you want to say?
