LIMITING GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE (5422/07)
Letter from the Chairman to Ian Pearson
MP, Minister of State for Climate Change and the Environment,
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Your Explanatory Memorandum on the above Communication
was considered by Sub-Committee D at its meeting of 14 March 2007.
We are supportive of the thrust of the Commission's
Communication. The greatest challenge arising from the Communication
is the need to gain agreement at the global level. Such agreement
is crucial both for the global environment and to ensure that
the EU is not placed at a commercial disadvantage in relation
to third countries.
We look forward to looking in depth at the various
linked initiatives as they come forward for scrutiny.
In the meantime, we are content to release the
Communication from scrutiny.
