MEPs decide not to veto fossil fuel projects list
By EUobserver
An attempt by MEPs to veto a list of energy projects given preferential treatment failed on Wednesday. MEPs in the industry, research and energy committee voted against vetoing the list. Critics say too many projects on the 'Projects of Common Interest' list relate to fossil fuels. Only 15 MEPs supported a veto, while 44 wanted to maintain the list as proposed by the European Commission.
