EU Governments threatened with Legal Action over Climate Change Plans

According to the Associate Press, 15 EU nations are facing potential punishment for not being able to submit their environment plans.
The European Commission threatened its 15 member states with legal action recently if they do not provide full information on plans to reduce pollution emissions.
All 25 EU nations must get their greenhouse gas reduction statistics into the EU's head office for approval but 15 states including France, Germany, Italy and Spain have given only partial information on pollution plans.
The European Commission said it sent warning letters to these nations, urging them to inform the EU of its environmental measures and to explain why they missed a June deadline. The EU head office warned it would take them to the EU high court, where they could face fines for failure to implement the climate change law.
EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said reporting the plans is a "crucial part" of fighting climate change.
