What have the European countries agreed on at the Brussels Summit?
W: Mr. Dimas, at the Brussels summit the Europeans agreed, to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and focus more on renewable energy sources. The participants gave themselves a hearty pat on the pack for this achievement. Has the world’s climate now been saved?
M: We have completed important steps on the road to limiting global warming as much as possible. But of course it will take many other measures as well.
W: Environmental groups are calling it window dressing.
M: It’s obvious that what we have done just now won’t be enough. But let’s take a look at the facts. We intend to satisfy 10 percent of our fuel consumption needs from renewable raw materials in the future. We are placing our bets on renewable energy sources, and we have committed to a 20 percent reduction (relative to 1990 levels) in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. If we compare this to what seemed possible two years ago, these are revolutionary advances...
W: ...that exist only on paper so far. The EU has made many resolutions in the past that have been quickly forgotten.
M: No one will be able to ignore these binding resolutions that easily. We will certainly encounter setbacks along the way, but the train is already in motion, and all 27 EU countries are on board. The EU Commission will now begin directly transforming the agreements into law.
W: Experts predict that the EU will not even attain the meager targets of the 1997 Kyoto protocol.
M: Some member states, like Germany, will make it. Others will not. Those are the ones we have to work on. More has to be done, and this is where I place a great deal of faith in the presiding president of the European Council, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
