EU Pushes Binding Climate Deal
By Richard Black
BBC

Thursday 28 July 2005

The European Union says it will push for legally-binding global restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions.

A spokeswoman's comments came after the announcement of a voluntary pact, based on new technology, between the US and five Asia-Pacific states.

She also told BBC News that the new pact is unlikely to bring a significant reduction in emissions.

The EU's intention to pursue further legally-binding reductions could lead to political disputes later this year.
