MEPs to quiz Dimas on climate and Dancet on chemicals

摘要

European Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas will be in the spotlight next week, as MEPs take the opportunity to question him on the EU's position at the United Nations climate conference in December, at the European Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food SafetyrnThe EU has made no secret of its bid to secure a 30 per cent emissions cut in greenhouse gas emissions level compared to 1990 levels by 2020. Less cut and dry is its position on the list of sectors and subsectors deemed to be exposed to carbon leakage (also under scrutiny at Wednesday's meeting, see story this issue) or on carbon trading in general.
