STRASBOURG, France, Feb 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The European Parliament Tuesdaygave its final approval to an ambitious target for cutting EU greenhouse gasemissions by 2040, a key milestone towards the bloc's goal of becoming carbonneutral by mid-century. Lawmakers voted by 413 to 226 in favour of a 90-percent cut in greenhouse gasemissions compared to 1990 levels -- with flexibility to allow carbon creditsbought outside the 27-nation EU to help reach the goal. The target now requires an ultimate sign-off by EU member states.
