EU 'ready for Copenhagen'
Oct 22 2009
In a statement, minister for the environment Andreas Carlgren said that the EU is ready to send a "forceful" message to other nations ahead of the seminar.
He made his remarks after the EU's environment ministers agreed on a number of council conclusions, including clarification on environmental analysis on how to combat deforestation and undertake sustainable forestry.
Additionally, long-term EU targets regarding emission reductions of between 80 per cent and 95 per cent - compared to 1990 levels - by 2050 have been set.
Mr Carlgren said: "The EU is now sending a forceful and clear signal to other countries in the run-up to the climate meeting in Copenhagen. We are prepared to show the political leadership necessary to save the climate."
