“Too many targets from Brussels”

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

EU Commission plans for a binding efficiency energy saving target of 30 percent by 2030 do not make sense, writes Hendrik Kafsack in a commentary for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “The EU has the clear target to reduce emissions by 40 percent by 2030. Every EU member state also has national targets for emissions not covered by emissions trading. Countries can decide how to achieve those targets – without detailed guidelines from Brussels.”
