Canada makes WTO complaint against EU seal product ban 6. Cocaine's charge through Europe undiminished Publisher's Note =============== The European Parliament's environment committee has approved a list of 164 industrial sectors to be granted free carbon emissions permits for five years - if no global deal on climate change is negotiated next month. The concern is that the revised EU Emission Trading System could prompt firms to relocate production to third countries with less strict climate policies. The vote can be seen as an indication of how urgently an international climate change agreement is needed. Not only to avoid the above 'carbon leakage', but also, as Environment Commissioner Dimas told the committee, to help develop a "green economy" in Europe, opening new possibilities and creating new jobs. http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/climate-warming.1b3 Regards, Nick Prag Publisher, EUbusiness CASELEX - FREE 30 DAY LICENSE! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Caselex offers Supreme Court cases linked to Community law from national and European Courts.
