Proceeding contribution from Colin Challen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 March 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

May I add my welcome for the Prime Minister’s statement, and particularly for the introduction of a mandatory 20 per cent. cut in emissions by 2020? However, it follows behind our voluntary target of a 20 per cent. cut by 2010 by a whole decade. Does my right hon. Friend detect any enthusiasm among other European states for voluntary cuts above the baseline—and it should be considered a baseline—of the mandatory target?
