CEO: Business Lobby Pushing Self-Interest Over Success

10 December 09

A watchdog group called the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) says that corporate lobbyists, who have been working overtime to influence the UNFCCC COP15 in the run-up period, are still here in force, still pushing their position and standing dangerously in the way of success.

CEO spokester Jiorgos Vassalos said that Europe appears lucky to have no mainstream corporate groups that actually deny climate science. "The dominant discourse is that something has to be done, but nothing that might harm the European Union's corporate competitiveness."
