” “"Right now, Europe will not achieve the Kyoto objectives unless policies change": it was stated in Rome today by Jos Delbeke, director of climate changes and air quality of the General Environmental Division of the European Commission. Delbeke spoke at a conference on "How to achieve Kyoto objectives by 2012", organised by the Italian delegation of the European Commission and Wwf. "The good news said Delbeke is that the level of CO2 emissions is lower than the level of 1990. The bad news is we have been losing ground in the last four years because our technology is not used in a strict, efficient way". As to alternative sources (wind, nuclear, photovoltaic, etc.), "Europe has the best technology in the world along with Japan", he specified. "If we did not do anything to reduce emissions he warned they would increase by 8% in Europe". (to be continued)” “
