正文(英文) | The demand for legally binding targets on a number of policies from the Green Deal package are crucial for achieving the level of ambition that the Green Deal is set out to achieve.
15 January 2020 - With a large majority and cross-party support, the EU Parliament today backed the European Green Deal proposed by the Commission in December, and demanded higher ambition. On several key issues, such as biodiversity, deforestation, oceans and agriculture, Parliament called on the Commission to go beyond the commitments currently set out in its Communication. “With this resolution, MEPs have raised the bar for the European Commission to urgently present a whole range of concrete proposals that should amount to genuine transformational change,” said Ester Asin, Director of the WWF European Policy Office. “It is now up to Member States to take forward the suggested Green Deal improvements from the European Parliament Resolution in their Council negotiations.

It called for the law to include intermediate EU targets, including the previously endorsed 55% target for 2030, and to be complemented by a rapid phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies by 2020 at EU and national levels.
