The European Environment Agency (EEA) has published in their 2008 annual report that European (EU-27) greenhouse gas emissions have reduced by 7.7% between 1990 and 2006. This quite positively assures that if the EU stays on track, the Kyoto target of a reduction of 20% by 2020 will definitely be reached. The EU-15 countries however, have only had a reduction of 2.2% in that period.
The report gives detail of each country’s levels and the reason for reductions, summarized to be primarily a reduction of nitrous oxide production in chemical plants.
