EU leaders slam White House climate plan | EU - European Information on Climate Change
Outgoing US President George Bush's plans to cap CO2 emissions by 2025 have attracted scorn in Europe, where the proposed measures are seen as insufficient and overdue. But the US is also critical of 'rhetorical' CO2 commitments and favors clean tech development.And Andrej Kranjc, environment secretary for Slovenia, which currently holds the rotating EU Presidency, expressed his "disappointment" with the 2025 target, which is widely seen as 'too little, too late' compared with the EU's commitment to slash GHG emissions by 20% by 2020.
