Press Release: Climate change: Commission welcomes EP recommendations on future EU climate policy

The European Commission welcomed the report adopted by the European Parliament on 4 February, 2009, setting out recommendations for future EU policy on climate change. The approval of the final report from the Temporary Committee on Climate Change showed the Parliament's strong support for ambitious EU action to address the climate challenge. Its recommendations were in line with the Commission's thinking set out in last week's Communication on a new global climate agreement.
