BRUSSELS, May 28 (Xinhua) — The European Union will miss its legally binding target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and will fall behind by about 1 percentage point, the European Commission said Wednesday.

In its assessment of the final National Energy and Climate Plans submitted by Member States, the Commission found that existing and planned measures would reduce net emissions in the EU by around 54% compared to 1990 levels by 2030. This is 1 percentage point less than the 55% reduction target set by the EU Climate Law.

Under the law, the EU aims to become climate neutral by 2050, with an interim target of reducing emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030. –0–
