Bangkok, à oublier et à retenir
Posted on 14. Oct, 2009 by Florent Baarsch in France

Posted on 13. Aug, 2009 by adoptanegotiator in E.U., United Kingdom
I never really fully understood the metaphor have your cake and eat it. But from what I can tell the EU is doing a pretty good job of trying to do just that when it comes to emissions reductions.
