EU policymakers have bowed to industry concerns about the cost of environment policy without even exploring the potential for deeper emissions cuts, green energy groups said in a letter to the European Commission.
The Commission, the EU executive, is expected to unveil in January its vision on 2030 energy and environment policy to follow 2020 goals on cutting carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency and increasing use of renewable power.
If the European Union succeeds in agreeing a 2030 carbon-cutting goal, it would be the first major bloc to do so ahead of a new global deal on climate change expected in 2015.
