BRUSSELS- The President of the European Parliament Jerzy Burek said here Thursday that he and his 15-member delegation will do all in its powers to reach a binding global deal at COP-15 UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
However, in press statements before he left for the Danish capital today, he warned that "time is against us".
"We need movement from our global partners; our electorates expect us to deliver a deal that will genuinely combat climate change," said Burek.
Meanwhile, in Copenhagen the delegates at the climate conference decided Thursday afternoon to continue the talks in two tracks, one on the Kyoto Protocol, another on the Climate Change Convention.
The decision came after the Danish Presidency of the conference had consultations on procedure with the delegates.
The developing countries, represented by Group of 77, have expressed fears that the developed western countries would "kill the Kyoto Protocol" in Copenhagen.
