Open-air field trials involving five major food crops grown under

test conditions -- and scientists warn that global food supplies could
be at risk without changes in production strategies.

As the government announced a tougher than expected UK carbon emissions cap,
a new report has argued that the EU should impose minimum national limits
across member states. However a report from the Institute for Public Policy
Research on the same day said this should be the last time limits are set
by national governments on whatever basis they choose. The research found
that because EU member states are allowed to set their own carbon dioxide
allocations, the EU emissions trading scheme is not achieving progress on
the Kyoto targets for cutting emissions. The IPPR argued that the European
Commission should reject plans that are not in line with the Kyoto Protocol.

2006/06/28: BBC: Germany sets 'lax' carbon quotas
The German government has unveiled a plan to cut carbon emissions
from business by less than 1% by 2012. The figures were revealed
as part of Germany's submission to Europe's flagship environment
policy, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The German government
depicts this as a 6% cut from the period 2000-2002. But set against
the real allocation for Germany industry in 2005 it amounts to
a cut of only 0.63%, which campaign groups have greeted with dismay.

2006/06/27: BBC: Germany to spark 'climate crisis'
The German government is about to trigger a new crisis in Europe's
flagship climate policy, the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
BBC News understands the German cabinet is likely to agree a deal
that will reduce carbon emissions from industry by only 0.6%
between 2004 and 2012. The decision is likely to influence other
EU countries, including the UK, which still have to set their own caps.
Environmental groups describe the target as "pathetic and shameful".
"These figures are unbelievably unambitious," said Regina Gunther
from WWF Germany. "It is shameful that our environment minister
has agreed to this." Climate analysts now fear a meltdown
of EU climate leadership.
