European leaders meeting in Brussels appear to have reached agreement on how to tackle the current economic crisis and global warming. Reports suggest the EU will commit itself to a stimulus package worth 200 Bbillion Euros. At the same time - it will stick by its ambitious goal to cutting greenhouses gases by 2020. This comes after a day of tough negotiations - as the 27 member bloc struggled to accommodate the concerns of various member countries.
