Rasmussen, Putin discuss new climate deal
The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen next month is expected to negotiate over a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, parts of which will expire in 2012 Rasmussen said he expected a political accord, rather than a legally binding treaty, to be adopted at the conference. “I expect a politically binding agreement that will take effect right after the signature. This agreement will be the basis for a legally binding agreement,” Rasmussen told reporters. Acknowledging that Denmark’s consent to the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline has helped enhance ties with Russia, Putin also said at the press conference that the volume of natural gas deliveries to Denmark via Nord Stream could later be tripled to three billion cubic meters a year. “The commissioning of Nord Stream will secure long-term gas supplies to Denmark. This will be at least one billion cubic meters of gas per year ... Subsequently this quantity could be tripled for Denmark,” Putin said.
