Dirty deal behind the backs of offish people...
The heads of France and Germany are about to conclude a bilateral deal, which threatens to water down (already weak!) European legislation tackling CO2 emissions from cars. Greenpeace has made a petition for the European Council's current President, demanding that he and other heads of state stand up for the climate.
Greenpeace will deliver the petition to the President of the European Council on Monday, and every day before 12 April.
The German government is driving this--putting the immediate commercial interests of German luxury car-makers before the safety of the planet. Sarkozy is riding along with Merkel because he needs Germany's support for his grand plans for a Mediterranean Union.
