When President Clinton first made those the focus of his thinking on Kyoto, the Europeans rejected that and demanded that the focus be on capping output. But it seems that once they're looking at the monies involved, they're more inclined to be more flexible in how they'd pursue the Kyoto targets.

...Sharon spoke in a different language, a softer tone, but he said nothing new - he urged the Palestinians to cease fire, and said that Israel would immediately respond positively. This is what he has said all along. Neither side will reject the Mitchell Report, and both sides will say they're committed to implementing it. But that doesn't mean it will happen...
