EU says UK emission plans illegal

Reported by Reuters EU says UK emissions change illegal
The Commission approved London's original plan last July with instructions to make minor changes. The government later re-jigged the plan, raising the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that industry can emit by nearly 3 percent. It threatened to take the Commission to court if approval of the changes was refused.But the EU executive has stood its ground. In a letter obtained by Reuters, Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas wrote to environment secretary Margaret Beckett that the new allocations were not acceptable.
