EU sets target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040. The European Commission, the EU's executive body, held a press conference on the 6th and announced that it would recommend to member states and the European Parliament a goal of reducing emissions.
There has been growing opposition within member states, with farmers protesting that EU's climate change measures and environmental regulations are leading to increased production costs and a decline in international competitiveness. It has been pointed out that far-right and right-wing parties are trying to expand their support.
