EU sees 'Green Deal' delays but keeps climate target plan - draft document

(Reuters) - The European Commission will delay some climate policies under its signature "Green Deal" proposal due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the timeline to unveil a new 2030 emissions target is unchanged, according to a draft document seen by Reuters.

The pandemic and economic shock have forced the EU executive to review its plans for 2020, as the novel coronavirus demands an urgent focus on ensuring an economic recovery at a time when most of the EU executive's staff are under lockdown at home.
