That is a pity because, as far as I can see, that is the main issue, especially in view of the fact that one large country, one contracting partner, is saying we want to be able to buy ourselves out of all our emissions obligations. That this country is able to use internal political debate, i.e. the imminent election campaign in the USA, to block us and the other contracting States from making further progress on this central issue is scandalous!
Il est selon moi tout bonnement scandaleux que ce pays parvienne pour des raisons de politique intérieure - la campagne électorale américaine est imminente - à nous empêcher, nous et les autres parties contractantes, d'accomplir d'autres progrès !
