20/02/2007 Kansainvälinen WWF on tyrmistynyt Suomen kielteisestä suhtautumisesta EU:n päästövähennyssuunnitelmiin. Euroopan komissio on esittänyt EU:n kasvihuonekaasujen vähentämistä 20 prosentilla vuoteen 2020 mennessä. WWF korostaa, ettei ilmastonmuutoksen hidastaminen vaaranna EU-maiden kilpailukykyä, päinvastoin.

19/02/2007 Il parlamento iracheno sta per approvare la nuova legge che regolamenterà il settore energetico e aprirà le porte ai cosiddetti ‘investimenti’ delle grandi multinazionali del petrolio, tra cui l’italiana ENI. "La legge voluta dalla grandi multinazionali petrolifere, ENI inclusa, prevede l’introduzione dei cosiddetti PSA – Production Sharing Agreements – i quali consentiranno alle multinazionali enormi profitti a scapito dell’erario iracheno" - segnala 'Un ponte per...' che invita a firmare un petizione online al Ministro dell'Economia e Finanze Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa e al presidente dell'ENI Roberto Poli. La legge è stata ufficialmente presentata in Parlamento senza nessun tipo di consultazione, come era stato invece richiesto dalle rappresentanze sindacali. Nella sua visita a sopresa a Baghdad dei giorni scorsi, il Segretario di Stato americano, Condoleezza Rice ha ribadito la necessità di "affrettare il varo di una legge sul petrolio, in modo da garantire un’equa distribuzione dei proventi fra i vari settori della popolazione".
