The final Environment Council under the Irish Presidency will be held in Luxembourg on 18 June 2013. Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik and Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard will represent the European Commission. After the adoption of the 'A' points, Ministers will adopt Conclusions on Adaptation to Climate Change, and the Presidency will present a progress report on Biofuels and Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC). Over lunch Ministers will be joined by Commissioner for Maritime Affaires and Fisheries Maria Damanaki to discuss the challenges ahead for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The Council will then hold an exchange of views and adopt conclusions on the follow-up to the Rio+20 conference on sustainable development held in Brazil last year. A press conference will be held after the Council closes. |
