20/05/2020 (Agence Europe) – Discussions between Member States’ experts on the ‘climate law’ proposal presented by the European Commission on 4 March (see EUROPE 12439/2) will resume on 25 May, on the occasion of a meeting of the Council of the European Union’s working group on the environment. These discussions, which started on 13 March, came to a halt because of Covid-19, which prevented the Commission from answering the first questions from Member States on its proposal as quickly as it would have liked. On the European Parliament side, Jytte Guteland MEP (S&D, Sweden) will present her report on the ‘climate law’ to the European Parliament’s Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) on 28 May. In particular, she proposes to raise the European objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions set for 2030 to -65% below the 1990 level of emissions (see EUROPE 12483/11). (DG)
