Italy will veto new European greenhouse gas limits for 2020 unless it gets concessions, its environment minister said on Tuesday, suggesting the EU might wait a year before adopting new climate change policies. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has called the plan unrealistic and his environment minister, Stefania Prestigiacomo, said Italy would reject it in its current form. “The feeling is that some countries want Europe to go it alone and that this position could have a decisive impact at the Copenhagen talks. There are different points of view,” she said. “Maybe it would be more opportune to wait for the result of the Copenhagen conference to have everyone better encouraged to go forward in a quicker way.” A delay would also give Europe time to see how president-elect Barack Obama intends to put his green rhetoric into practice, she said.
