	European Commission - Energy - ENERGY FOR A CHANGING WORLD
		In January 2007, the European Commission adopted new proposals for an ambitious energy policy for Europe.
		This includes a directive that sets an overall binding target for the European Union of 20% renewable energy by 2020 and a 10% minimum target for the market share of biofuels by 2020, to be observed by all Member States.
		Europeans are well aware of the impact of energy production and consumption on climate change and global warming, while a majority feel that the best way to tackle energy-related issues would be at EU level.

	::The European Commission::
		The European Commission, arguably the most controversial of the EU's institutions, is based in Brussels and draws up treaties, laws and policies.
		In this sense, the European Commission is an extremely important and powerful body that has the right to impose its decisions on member states of the European Union (EU) and it is this fact that concerns many people involved in British politics.
		In the early-1990’s the Commission president was Jacques Delor and such was his influence on the Commission that the development plan for the European Commission was known as the "Delor’s Plan".

	European Commission admits illegal timber scandal \| Greenpeace International
		Two-and-a-half years ago, we roped off the European Commission's star-shaped Berlaymont building as a "Forest Crime Scene." We had discovered that timber stolen from the forest homes of orang-utans was being used in the construction.
		At the time, a spokesman for the commission, quoted in the Guardian, rejected the charge of double standards, saying the commission had been assured that only environmentally sound wood would be used.
		If the European Commission wants to show that it is serious about preventing forest ecosystem breakdown, it must put forward legislation to ensure that all timber products on the European market come from legal sources and responsibly managed forests.

	Parliament Pushes European Commission to Address Dog and Cat Fur Trade \| The Humane Society of the United States
		The European Parliament easily secured enough signatures to pressure the European Commission to address the cat and dog fur trade, but the legislative body of the Europe Union is resisting the call, claiming not to have the authority to pass a comprehensive ban on the cruel trade in Europe.
		The members of the European Parliament (MEPs) needed to gather 314 signatures by December 22 for their Written Declaration to become the parliament's official position.
		But, according to Scotland's Sunday Herald, commission officials are maintaining their stance that they don't have authority to draft legislation, and that it is up to the individual nations to implement laws on the trade.
