Climate change session debates best policy mix to reduce C02 emissions

'Energy, transport and industry together give the majority of global CO2 emissions', said theme leader Barsi Pataki (EPP-ED, HU) opening the European Parliament's Climate Change Committee's Fifth Thematic Session on the 3 March 2008. MEPs and experts debated the best policy mix for reducing these emissions, including CO2 emission limits for cars, the use of sustainable biofuels, auctioning CO2 emission rights, sector-specific agreements and new technology R&D.
