The Council of the European Union agreed on 30 September 2016 to go ahead with the ratification of the Paris Agreement at the European Union level. The member states can either ratify together with the EU if they have completed their national procedures, or as soon as possible thereafter. The European Parliament's environment committee had already endorsed the ratification process. The plenary session of the parliament in October 2016 was set to confirm the endorsement as soon as the Council agreed on it. Once Parliament has consented the Council can formally adopt the Decision. The EU would then be able to deposit its ratification instrument with the UNFCCC. |
