STRASBOURG, France, Feb 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The European Parliament Tuesday 
gave its final approval to an ambitious target for cutting EU greenhouse gas 
emissions by 2040, a key milestone towards the bloc's goal of becoming carbon 
neutral by mid-century.

Lawmakers voted by 413 to 226 in favour of a 90-percent cut in greenhouse gas 
emissions compared to 1990 levels -- with flexibility to allow carbon credits 
bought outside the 27-nation EU to help reach the goal.

The target now requires an ultimate sign-off by EU member states.
