Old EU members also have a collective Kyoto target of lowering their CO2 emissions by 8% by 2010, but they are projected to achieve a mere 4.6% reduction. Despite this, countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands, which are not expected to meet their Kyoto commitments, are being allowed to increase their emissions.
原来的欧盟成员国也有到2010年将排放量减少8%的集体目标，不过他们预计只能减少4.6%。尽管如此，比利时和荷兰等预计无法实现京都目标的国家，还获准增加排放量。
