Looking back to Bali
On his blog, Mr. Stavros Dima, Environment Commissioner, is expressing some thoughts regarding the results of Bali meeting. In some elegant words (a “qualified success”) he mentions the resistance of the USA, Japan and Russia to real emission cuts.
Well, it is not easy to negotiate with this three ‘poisoning’ giants, but in my opinion there are some more persuasive means to gain little battles.
What if the EU will ask the companies exporting on European markets that their products should bear a ‘green label’ -testifying that the production facilities do not have toxic emission over certain values? Something similar to the quality requirements, already in force. Yes, it is a delicate and maybe costly decision, but it is easier to negotiate directly with the producers, than with administrations and policy makers.
