As German Chancellor Angela Merkel鈥檚 climate cabinet is set to meet for the second time this week, her conservative CDU/CSU alliance has criticised Social Democratic (SPD) environment minister Svenja Schulze for sending the draft of her controversial Climate Action Law to other ministers for coordination without the chancellery鈥檚 consent, . The CDU/CSU鈥檚 deputy parliamentary group leader Georg N眉脽lein called the surprise move 鈥渁 transparent, panic-driven manoeuvre and clear foul play,鈥� a hasty reaction to the SPD鈥檚 poor results in this weekend鈥檚 European elections. He said Schulze鈥檚 draft opens the door to 鈥渁 climate planning economy. We will not support this.鈥� By starting the inter-ministerial consultation, which precedes a cabinet decision, Schulze increases pressure on the conservative CDU/CSU union.

Schulze聽 presented a draft Climate Action Law in mid-February, which was met with criticism from its CDU/CSU coalition partner as it aims to enshrine existing CO鈧� reduction targets for each economic sector into law and hold the individual ministries financially responsible. Angela Merkel鈥檚 chancellery has not released the draft for inter-ministerial coordination, and Schulze decided to sidestep common practice. Germany is under pressure to meet its goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030, and Merkel鈥檚 government promised in its coalition agreement to introduce legislation by the end of 2019 to make sure the country reaches its climate targets. To end the deadlock within the government, Merkel has set up the so-called climate cabinet, a group of ministers with key responsibilities for climate issues, which is to come up with climate action proposals by the end of the year. It will meet for the second time this week (29 May), and ministers are expected to deliver first sets of proposals for climate action measures in the individual economic sectors.
