Which EU countries are not yet opposing Greenland
And the countries in the Eu that are trying to avoid upsetting Greenland
Earth Times reports 'The European Union was split over the issue, with Germany and Britain opposing the Danish
proposal while Sweden, Finland, Slovenia and Italy wanted the EU to
abstain in the vote, according to non- governmental organisation (NGO)
sources.'
Sweden have been a problem throughout this process. They have seemed to be able to ignore all the evidence placed in front of them in their pursuit of Scandanavian solidarity. But Slovenia and Italy should know better.
Both countries have been very good on the issue of cetaceans conservation and I had the pleasure of addressing the CMS Conference fo Parties in Rome last year with the Italian Minister where she reiterated her country's commitment to conservation. Come on Italy and Slovenia, dont get sucked into the rehetoric of these unscientific claims by Greenland and Denmark and do your people and the whales proud!
