Who's pulling the strings on EU climate and energy policy? — ECEEE:

As sure as night follows day, lobby organization BusinessEurope can be relied on to criticize climate action.

They have just sent this letter to President Barroso on the 2030 climate and energy package (due for release on January 22). It's a rehash of what BusinessEurope has been saying for the past months. Barroso is encouraged to set a 'realistic' (i.e. weak) greenhouse gas target which won't harm industrial competitiveness, to wait until other countries around the world have taken climate action, and to remember the supposedly 'high costs impact of energy and climate policies'.

In other words, do nothing. Stick with business as usual.
