Frans Timmermans said the COP27 deal failed to address “the yawning gap between climate science and our climate policies.”
COP27: EU left ‘disappointed’ by lack of ambition in final deal
SHARM EL-SHEIKH — The European Union is not hiding its disappointment with the climate deal struck at COP27, criticizing its lack of ambition and warning of an increasingly distant possibility to keep global warming under the 1.5 °C target.“We have treated some of the symptoms but not cured the patient from its fever,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a short reaction statement.Her deputy, Vice-President Frans Timmermans, who led the negotiations on the EU’s behalf, was more scathing and left no doubts as to his frustration.The final deal “does not bring enough added efforts from major emitters to increase and accelerate their emissions cuts. It does not bring a higher degree of confidence that we will achieve the commitments made under the Paris...

Belgium struggles to incinerate all of the cocaine it seized in yet another record year
ANTWERP — The record amount of cocaine Belgian authorities have seized in Antwerp this year has created a significant backlog in its disposal, causing security concerns as tons of it are still waiting to be incinerated.Just one raid in mid-October saw more than six tons of cocaine seized in the Belgian port, found in two shipping containers coming in from Suriname, Belgian customs revealed.What has been described as “the mountain of cocaine” by Antwerp prosecutor Franky De Keyser earlier in October has now been stored away at undisclosed locations.The pile-up was caused by several big confiscations in recent weeks, and limitations to the tonnage the incinerators can handle in one go, Federal Public Service Finance spokesperson Francis Adyns told Euronews on Monday.“The main issue...
