I
spent part of the week driving across Spain and France. And I could see the
impact of an exceptionally hot summer period. It was particularly shocking in
the Vallée de la Loire: many of the farms showed the effect of a very long and
warm dry spell. They are usually green at this time of the year. That was not
the case as I could see. And I thought about climate change and the critical
importance of getting last year´s Paris Treaty ratified by a good number of
countries without further delay.
As
such, the news coming today from the EU ministers of environment is good. The
European countries decided to move ahead with the ratification process. We
should salute the decision. And take advantage of it to say that the EU is
still very capable of doing the right things. Together.
