Sweden's EPA goals for the EU

Sweden assumed the EU Presidency for a 6-month rotation July 1-Dec. 31, 2009. One of its goals is to push forward a carbon tax in addition to the EU’s current carbon trading program (See RRI's previous news item). During its Presidency, Sweden’s Environmental Protection Agency will be arranging expert meetings in all of the four environmental areas given priority in the preparations by its Ministry of the Environment: climate, marine environment, biodiversity and eco-efficient economy. More information on Sweden’s national green plan is available at RRI’s Green Plans in Action page.
