Cyprus Aims to Finalize Water, Climate Monitoring Legislation During EU Presidency

摘要

Cyprus will use its six-month presidency of the Council of the European Union to finalize EU laws on water quality and the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, the country's agriculture, natural resources, and environment minister said July 10. Speaking to the European Parliament's Environment Committee, Sofoclis Aletaris said he would seek agreement on the draft laws in the EU Council, which represents EU member state governments, and would then try to broker agreements with European Parliament negotiators so the legislation could be adopted at first reading.
