Yemen's Houthi rebels have announced they are imposing a new maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia in response for a recent attack on Sanaa Airport, and after years of the kingdom leading a blockade of Houthi-controlled Yemeni ports.

EU-Kommission will Emissionshandel bremsen (DW)
|
|
|
Die EU-Kommission hat ihre Vorschläge für eine Lockerung des europäischen Emissionshandels vorgestellt. Dabei weicht sie von ihren vorherigen Klimaschutz-Plänen ab. Kritiker befürchten eine Verwässerung... --- Eigentlich war geplant, dass die Klimazertifikate nur bis 2039 ausgegeben werden sollen. Mit den neuesten Vorschlägen könnte es sie jedoch bis 2046 oder sogar bis 2048 geben, so eine EU-Beamtin am Freitag.. --- Weitere Änderungen schlägt die EU-Kommission auch für Flugreisen vor: So solle das Emissionshandelssystem ab 2029 auch für Flüge gelten, die aus dem Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum starten und nicht weiter als 5000 Kilometer vom "geografischen Zentrum" der Union landen. Dies soll künftig auch Privatflüge umfassen. Bislang waren nur innereuropäische Linienflüge dem System unterworfen. Weitere Änderungen sind für die Schifffahrt und den Müllverbrennungssektor vorgesehen..
