EUROPE MUST FOLLOW AUSSIES ON BANNING BAD LIGHTING
February 22, 2007 12:00 AM
Commenting on the announcement that Australia is to ban the use of old-style incandescent light bulbs, Lib Dem European energy spokesperson Fiona Hall MEP said:
"Even Australia, which has refused to sign up to the Kyoto agreement on climate change, has seen the importance of saving energy by ditching inefficient light bulbs.
"Europe needs to follow suit. In the European Parliament I've been calling for action to take energy-wasting light bulbs and other energy-wasting appliances off the market.
"The UK government should be pushing for a European ban on incandescent bulbs as soon as possible."
