The article focuses on the proposals announced by the European Commission to reduce global warming gas (GWG) emissions across the European Union (EU), under which the heaviest polluters would bear the biggest financial responsibility. The proposed measures include a requirement that the EU chemical, fertilizer, and aluminum industries cut their emissions of carbon dioxide and other GWGs 10% by 2020 compared with 1990 levels. The cost of implementing all of the proposed emission-reduction measures would shave 0.5% off EU GDP, the commission says.
