BERLIN - Just days before hosting a Group of Eight summit that has already drawn violent protests, German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday described President Bush's new initiative on global warming as "very welcome," but insisted it must fall within the framework of United Nations treaty negotiations.
Bush on Thursday proposed the 15 biggest emitters of greenhouse gases hold meetings and set an emissions goal. But he would let each country â?? including the U.S., China, India and the major European countries â?? decide individually how to implement it.
"The U.S. initiatives on climate protections are very welcome to us, under the condition that they are channeled into the framework of the U.N. program," Merkel said during a news conference at her office with visiting British Prime Minister Tony Blair. He supported her position.
"It is good that the U.S. has made these commitments. We need to make sure that we keep these targets within the U.N. agreement," he said.
