Sweden PM urges pressure on U.S., China over climate
Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:42AM EDT

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's prime minister, Fredrik
Reinfeldt, called on Monday for more pressure on the United
States, China and India to commit to action to tackle global
warming.

Reinfeldt, opening a week-long conference on water in
Stockholm, said the European Union was a key part of the
process to address environmental challenges and reduce
so-called greenhouse gasses.

But he added, "The European Union is not enough to make
change. We need to make the United States, China, India
and other countries to commit themselves to actions."

Reinfeldt said climate negotiations will be at a decisive stage
in 2009.
