Halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2050: MEPs outline the mandate for Bali

Binding emissions targets for all industrialised countries; a global 'cap and trade' system; and a 50 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by the middle of this century. These, according to a Resolution adopted on the 15 November 2007 by the European Parliament, should be some of the EU's core targets for the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Bali.
