www.corriere.itPOZNAN (POLAND) - Italy won the worst prize that could receive the World Climate Conference in Poznan during the 'Fossil of the day, "un'onoreficienza definitely a bit 'the funny, but in fact represents a certificate of environmental shame. The 'Fossil' we have given Friday night, and of course there was nobody to receive it, in a ceremony followed by hundreds of delegates and journalists from around the world, punctuated by a chorus of disapproval. This is a banner depicting a dinosaur that spits fire, a symbol of the countries that are not able to get away by the massive use of fossil fuels.
HISTORY - The prize is often accompanied by a block of coal to be delivered to the winner. Institute for the first time in 1999, during World Climate Conference in Bonn, the 'Fossil of the day "is assigned daily to one or more countries, according to the jury, were known for their disruptive actions, or even sabotage the negotiation process on climate. Friday night, as well as Italy, were also awarded the second place ex aequo, Japan, Australia and Canada, and third place Russia. The jury is composed of several representatives of the Climate Action Network (CAN), the international network of over four hundred non-governmental organizations participating in the work of the conference.
PRESTIGIACOMO - But what our country has done to deserve the "Fossil of the Day"? "His delegation, in these early days of the conference, seems non-existent and silent-write in the grounds of the ANC representatives. " But in fact you are working hard both in Brussels and in Rome to destroy the success of the negotiation process of Poznan. Italian Environment Minister Stefania House, in particular, is accused by representatives of the ANC to undermine the climate and energy package being discussed by the EU, saying that the targets of 20% by 2020 (reduction of emissions, increased 'efficiency and renewables) would be unrealistic and costly.
THE ONLY IN EUROPE - "Italy is convinced that she can to undermine the conference Poznan, with its plots-we read in the scathing conclusion of the grounds-so much so that his ministers said that before the next conference in Copenhagen all the objectives must be redefined. Italy is very intelligent, but the ANC has eyes everywhere. And so, Fossils for you! '. No comment from the Italian delegation, moreover, in these early days of the conference, is represented only at the technical level: the Minister of Environment with its officials will reach the middle of next week. "The fossil of the day is a signal-to-campaign manager says the WWF International Midulla-Maria Grazia. Italy with his positions, is alone in Europe. Finance Polish Environment Minister said that his country will pursue the 30% cut in emissions. We hope that the result of international trattaive we'll have a better shape, also in view of the role of presidents of the G8. "
