The European Commission has adopted a controversial new policy that would restrict EU citizens’ right to leave the EU if their country fails to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

The decision, adopted at an EU executive meeting in Brussels on Friday, comes after the EU adopted a draft emissions reduction target (EPS) at the beginning of 2014.

“The position of the European Commission has been that the current level of EU pollution should remain at zero, despite the possibility that a cou바카라ntry can achieve a level comparable to that of the United States or China,” said a spokesperson for the European Commission. “In 2014, the Commission will adopt the Commission’s emissions reduction target, which will be binding on EU Member States for years to come.”

EU member states are required to ratify the principle of precautionary non-binding measures to limit their greenhouse gas emissions.

However, this system is often criticised by climate activists, who argue that the system restricts access to clean fuels and can be harmful to the environment.

In February, the European Parliament adopted a draft resolution calling for the European Council to adopt the principle of precautionary non-binding measures for member states.

The position adopted by the European Commission at the weekend could also lead to a more severe consequences for Europeans with long term residence in the European Union.

In 2012, the Council passed a directive for the Common Position (COP) to guide the interpretation of laws on environmental protection, the adoption of a set of principles, and the use of national legislation in the field of energy and climate policy.

The COP will now undergo a mandatory revision to ensure that it is not in conflict with EU laws and that i
