EU can do more on technology

October 15, 2008

The MEP responsible for reviewing EU climate and energy policies says the Commission should be doing more to encourage better technology.

Karl-Heinz Florenz, the rapporteur for the European Parliament’s temporary committee on climate change, wants the Commission to make its energy efficiency target of 20% by 2020 mandatory. He also says the aviation and shipping industries should each be set an emissions reduction target for 2020.
