Timmermans: New EU climate target 'perhaps at minus 58 percent'
The vice president of the EU Commission wants healthier soils and fewer pesticides in agriculture - and no break for decarbonization. In an exclusive interview with Claire Stam and the French media Contexte, Frans Timmermans defends his proposals for a Nature Restoration Law and the reduction of pesticide use against criticism. For COP28, he sees no other option than to talk to fossil fuel companies. A new EU climate target of minus 58 percent is possible, he says.
