Greens host conference on plastic bags

摘要

With plastics big news at the moment, this week it is the turn of the European Parliament's Greens/European Free Alliance group to host a conference this Wednesday 19 February on plastic carrier bags at the European Parliament in Brussels. The Greens claim that the long-awaited November 2013 European Commission proposal "does not seriously seek to reverse the negative tendency. The failure to set out clear targets for reducing lightweight plastic bags will undermine the prospect of ensuring a reduction across the EU," the group says.
