the eu currently aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% from the 1990 levels by 2020. in the article the ministers say the current goal is not enough to stimulate investment in state-of-the-art environmental technologies such as solar power. they say that europe risks falling behind china, japan, and the united states in technology development. the ministers say a low-carbon economy could stimulate related industries. the eu says it will raise the target only if major emitters including the united states and china make comparable commitments. >>> the japanese government has announced plans for a task force to locate the remains of world war ii soldiers on ioto island. more than 60 years since the end of the war the bodies of many japanese soldiers remain unaccounted for. the island, located about 1,200 kilometers south of tokyo, was the site of fierce battles between japanese and u.s. forces in the final stages of the war in 1945. about 22,000 japanese were killed. but over 13,000 are still missing. prime minister naoto kan told welfare minister akira nagatsuma on wedn
