CAMERON TALKS SHOW EU HOLDS THE KEY ON CLIMATE CHANGE - HUHNE

12.00.00am GMT Mon 27th Nov 2006

Commenting on revelations that David Cameron has held secret climate change talks with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:

"David Cameron is realistic enough to know that the EU holds the key to successful global limits on climate change, but is not brave enough to tell his own eurosceptic party that it must work with our European partners and ditch its wilder instincts.

"The EU was crucial in securing the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by arm-twisting the Russian Federation into signing when President George Bush was lobbying hard against it. Without the EU's global influence, the chances of a tougher treaty after 2012 will be minimal.

"David Cameron should publicly recognise that the EU is the only body that can give Britain the global clout to tackle climate change."
