India to thwart any pressure on emission norms
In Gleneagles(Scotland) PM Manmohan Singh has said that the issues
before the G8 were very important not only for the developed world
but also for the developing world.
He also indicated that India was not likely to budge from its
firm position that the rich west must help pay for the developing
world to move to clear,eco-friendly,renewable energy sources.
India would remain steadfast in discussion with the G8 leaders
& would resist any attempt to
Bludgeon it into acceptance of emission standards in line with
Kyoto protocol,which enjoins the rich countries to curb greenhouse
gas emissions by 2012.
India would remain firm on the principles that the West needed
to help pay for cleaner power stations for countries like India,for
high- tech transfer of green technology without Intellectual Property
Rights restrictions.
