Ministers from the 27 member states were in the European capital on Monday to discuss proposals published in January by the European Commission on what stance to take at the upcoming UN conference in Copenhagen in December. There, a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol is to be negotiated. It is too early to reveal what offers will be put on the table, the ministers argued, particularly as the US has yet to make public its negotiating stance. ‘It makes no sense to say now how much the EU is willing to transfer,' German environment minister Sigmar Gabriel said at a press conference after the meeting. ‘We were not quite able to reach consensus on the financing mechanism. This is an issue where the European Council will need more discussion time,' said EU environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas.

Pray:for the governments that they will not just seek their own selfish needs but remember those who are more needy. (Ps.82:3-4)
