European Union (EU) countries' climate ministers are split over key issues as they meet to decide the bloc's negotiating position for this year's COP28 summit. The EU is grappling with how hard to push for a global deal to phase out fossil fuels and ease US tariff and green subsidy threats. Additionally, EU countries have been unable to agree on a hard limit date for fossil fuel subsidies. The EU's stance on protecting its green industries against global competition remains forceful. France and Germany are running out of time to resolve their dispute over the role of nuclear power in Europe's energy transition. The EU is also urging reforms and a single market in the Western Balkans to boost membership bids.
