Joke Schauvliege – the Flemish Minister for Environment, Nature and Culture, who represented the European Union and the 27 Member States as chair of the European Environment Council at the COP-16 on Climate Change – is satisfied with the agreement reached at Cancún. “The result is a new step in the right direction. The active and unanimous position taken by the European Union – the 27 Member States and the Commission – has in all respects helped to bring the standpoints closer together.”
