The European parliament <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/energy-environment\/news\/eu-parliament-votes-for-60-carbon-emissions-cut-by-2030\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voted last year in favour of a 60% reduction in emissions<\/a>, up from members states&#8217; 55% target agreed last December following an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/energy-environment\/news\/eu-clinches-hard-fought-deal-on-2030-climate-target\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">all-night session of excruciating talks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The latest three-way talks were held on Friday in an attempt to find an agreement between parliament and the Council of Ministers, the body representing the EU\u2019s 27 member states. The European Commission, for its part, is meant to act as a mediator in the talks.<\/p>\n<p>However, EU member states did not give the Council a new mandate to negotiate on their behalf, meaning it could not change its position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe achieved nothing. There is no deal on anything. There\u2019s no progress. That\u2019s really frustrating for me, because I expected that we [would] make some progress this time,\u201d said Michael Bloss, a Green lawmkers from Germany, who is part of the European Parliament\u2019s negotiating team, in a press conference after the negotiations on Friday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Parliament negotiators had initially expected substantial progress to be made on proposals to introduce a greenhouse gas budget and establish a European Climate Change Council, an EU scientific advisory body which would verify the bloc\u2019s alignment with the Paris climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>But the Council said it did not have a mandate to make concessions and bought time with technical questions, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/03\/30\/fire-aid-cuts-uk-hosts-summit-help-vulnerable-nations-fund-climate-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Under fire<\/strong> over aid cuts, UK hosts summit to help vulnerable nations fund climate action<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNothing happened. It was basically the parliament talking about all of their positions,\u201d said Mackhaill-Hill. \u201cThey\u2019ve really been working hard on trying to find a compromise and the impression is that the Council just turned up and had nothing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The lead negotiator from the parliament, Jytte Guteland, was more positive, saying: \u201cI think we had some progress on the middle-sized questions. Now we can focus on the big ones during the next, and hopefully last [negotiation round]. It will all be about 2030 and 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Portugal, which holds the Council\u2019s six-month rotating presidency, aims to reach an agreement on the climate law by the end of April. But with the Easter break approaching, it seems increasingly likely that this deadline will be missed.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u201creally putting at risk\u201d the EU\u2019s timeline, Bloss warned, referring to the European Commission\u2019s June package of energy and climate laws, which will introduce new policies to reduce the bloc\u2019s emissions by 55% at least before the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<p>Without an agreement, the EU risks attending the US&#8217; leaders climate summit on the 22 April without a confirmed 2030 target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEither there\u2019s a deal that\u2019s made and it will be ready for the 22 April as the Council wants. However, if there is no move on the target, and the parliament stand strong, it won\u2019t be the last and in that case we\u2019ll go over the 22,\u201d said Mackhaill-Hill.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/03\/26\/rare-imf-relief-offers-hope-green-recovery-debt-laden-nations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Rare<\/strong> IMF relief offers a hope of green recovery to debt-laden nations<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the 2030 target was discussed, there is now a stalemate, with neither the parliament nor the Council budging in the talks. The EU\u2019s climate chief Frans Timmermans, too, is being \u201cstubborn\u201d, said a source familiar with the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>For Bloss, a key sticking point is the Commission\u2019s insistence on a \u201cnet\u201d target which also takes into account carbon removals from agriculture and forestry. Parliament, for its part, wants a separate target for carbon removals, saying the \u201cnet\u201d approach will encourage tree-planting initiatives as a substitute for emission reductions from industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Commission is very much insisting on their net approach, which is highly problematic,\u201d said Bloss, who added that the \u201cnet\u201d target contains lots of loopholes, causing issues in terms of carbon accounting.<\/p>\n<p>Bloss\u2019 comments are part of a broader criticism of the Commission not acting as an honest broker in the talks and standing by the hard-fought consensus reached among EU leaders at their December summit.<\/p>\n<p>Suzana Carp, from think-tank Bellona Europe, says the \u201cnet\u2019 target is not precise enough, and that half of EU countries do not support it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pretty confident that Council will have to move, but also I know that there are quite a few member states who actually don\u2019t support the net targets approach. They\u2019re extremely worried about what it would mean at Cop26,\u201d she told Euractiv.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed to a 2019 study which found the EU was on track for a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 if all its existing policies were implemented. Now, since the pandemic has slashed emissions, the EU should be more ambitious, she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The story was initially published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/climate-environment\/news\/little-progress-made-in-fifth-round-of-negotiations-on-eu-climate-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Climate Home News&#8217; media partner Euractiv<\/a>.
