E-mail smilovitz@michigandaily.com 0 0 EU leaders open a difficult summit, facing an East-West rift over'who should pay most to entice developing nations to sign up to a new global climate change pact. EU debates giving aid to join climate change fight Leaders 'have to achieve agreement' today in Copenhagen BRUSSELS (AP) - The Euro- pean Union fought yesterday to live up to its self-proclaimed leadership on combating climate change, with the 27 EU leaders at odds over how much to offer poorer nations to join the global battle. EU nations failed to agree on a figure for climate change funding for developing countries during a first set of talks yesterday, Swed- ish Prime Minister Fredrik Rein- feldt said, promising to make new efforts to strike a deal on the sec- ond day of talks here today. "On climate, we are not ready yet. ... We have not solved it," he told reporters after leading talks. EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said EU lead- ers "have to achieve" agreement today on offering billions of euros to developing nations that would prove Europe's commitment to tackling climate change ahead of U.N. talks on a new greenhouse gas pact in Copenhagen. The leaders did agree on a cru- cial issue for the union's future, diplomats said - concessions to the Euro-skeptic Czech president to persuade him to sign a reform treaty strengthening the bloc's diplomatic power and creating the post of a fixed EU president. Nine eastern EU states said earlier that they would rather walk away from the two-day sum- mit without an agreement than be forced into a deal for billions of euros that would stretch their budgets - even if that jeopardiz- es a global climate pact and hurts the EU's international image. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned against waiting for a deal, saying the stakes in the climate change battle are too high to bicker over who should shoul- der how much of the burden. "Unless we have a program for financing the action we're tak- ing against climate change, then we will not get an agreement at Copenhagen," where the U.N. cli- mate conference kicks off Dec. 7 aimed at replacing the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, Brown said. The EU executive says devel- oping nations would need annual help of eurol0O billion ($148 bil- lion) by 2020, of which EU gov- ernments and companies should contribute up to euro4O billion 6 ($59 billion). The latest draft declaration the leaders were discussing last night had eliminated any mention of fund targets. Reinfeldt said EU nations needed to take account of how badly many of them have been hit by the financial crisis. It is tough to reconcile current EU hesitancy with Europe's early ambitions on the issue. The Copenhagen summit is seen as a watershed moment for fighting climate change and for global cooperation, and for years the EU has been seeking out the moral high ground, challenging other powers such as the Unit- ed States and China to match Europe's commitment. An internal EU squabble over funding could weaken the union globally - and just look bad. U.N. officials say a European declaration on finance could go a long way toward breaking the stalemate in the climate talks. a Developing countries are hold- ing back firm commitments to slow the growth of their carbon dioxide emissions until they know how much aid they can expect to adjust to changing cli- mate conditions,
