Jacqueline Fanchini (Reporter)SPAIN must pay its way out of trouble after failing to meet green targets outlined by Europe’s Environment Agency.
The country is set to buy €400 million of emission-reduction credits from its greener European neighbours.
Nine countries including the Netherlands, Portugal and Ireland are weighing up the possibility of spending big to meet their targets.
A country failing to meet its green targets can buy credits from other countries that are over-achieving or invest in emission-reducing projects abroad.
There are currently 33 EU member countries subject to EEA targets.
“33 EU member countries subject to EEA targets” – this sounds really interesting, could someone make a list of these countries?
