From what I gather, it means that the industrialized countries, including Canada, would have to aim at a 25% reduction target by 2020 based on the 1990 levels.
I have a second question. Would you say that 1990, taken as the base year—and I know that all kinds of base years have been tossed around, like 2005 and 2006—is fundamental for the European Union and if so can you tell us why?
