The EU in Cancun

The European Parliament will send an official delegation of 15 MEPs to Cancún, while another 15 or 16 may go on their own initiative. This still falls short of the 50+ MEPs who went to Copenhagen. The official delegation includes the chair of the environment committee, German Socialist MEP Jo Leinen, as well as two former committee chairs, German centre-right MEP Karl-Heinz Florenz and Czech conservative Miroslav Ouzký. The European Commission will sent a team of 41 to Cancún (to join five Commission staff already based in Mexico), including Connie Hedegaard and senior officials from the Commission's climate action, research and agriculture departments.
