Greens Slam EU Commission Proposal to Delete GHG Cut in Transport Fuels

摘要

The European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E) on January 31 slammed a well-hidden proposal by the European Commission that post-2020 would delete a current regulation requiring a 6% cut in transport fuels greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. The one-sentence Commission proposal was buried inside a much bigger series of “white paper” proposals that would slash overall European Union GHG emissions 40% by 2030 and also impose a 27% “binding target” for renewable energy outside of transport fuels.
