German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier took a more conciliatory approach in Potsdam, saying that he hoped to find common ground on environmental protection in Heiligendamm.
“We’re seeking to achieve if not agreement then at least a closing of a gap between us. It’s not an easy issue,” he said. “As Europeans we are coming closer together on setting limits and benchmarks. Other people are banking on technological solutions. What is important is that in our international efforts we come closer together.”
