EU challenges partners to match its global warming targets - Yahoo! News:
"The European Union on Tuesday challenged its international partners to match its efforts to stop global warming, and stepped up pressure on the United States days before a crucial climate meeting.
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said the EU was prepared to deepen its target cuts of greenhouse gas emissions to 30 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 if its partners would match the efforts.
'We are ready to make this commitment provided other developed countries agree to make comparable efforts during the forthcoming negotiations,' expected to be launched by a conference in Bali, Indonesia starting next week.
'Developed countries must lead the way in cutting emissions,' he said. EU nations have already pledged to cut emissions by 20 percent by 2020."
