US told to toe line on climate

[cal04]

Britain and Germany yesterday joined forces to warn President George Bush that talks on climate change must take place within a United Nations framework and not in an ad hoc process floated last week by Bush.

As violent protesters clashed with police in Rostock ahead of next week's G8 summit in Germany, Washington was warned that Britain and Europe will not tolerate a separate process.

'For me, that is non-negotiable,' the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said of the need to ensure that climate change negotiations take place within the existing UN framework.

Her remarks were echoed by Hilary Benn, Britain's international development secretary. 'I think it is very important that we stick with the framework we've got,' Benn told The Observer
