| STRASBOURG: The European Parliament on Wednesday approved the EU's ambitious climate change package, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020.
Six texts on the package, already agreed by the 27 European Union member states, were passed by a large majority of the MEPs present.
"We have sealed the climate package," said European Parliament president Hans-Gert Poettering, after the vote, which lifted the last hurdle to the plan.
