EU president Sweden says climate talks too slow
BEIJING, July 13 (Reuters) - Global climate talks are going too slowly, and too many countries are demanding action from others rather than acting themselves, Sweden's Environment Minister Andreas Carlgren said on Monday in Beijing.
Sweden holds the rotating presidency of the European Union for the rest of the year, during which time global climate talks in Copenhagen are supposed to agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
"The negotiations are too slow because too many are pointing at others and requesting them to do more," Carlgren told a briefing in Beijing on Monday. (Reporting by David Stanway, writing by Tom Miles; Editing by Chris Lewis)
