Our Bureau

New Delhi , Aug. 28

India should reduce its tariffs on import of environmental goods and services to facilitate the flow of technology, said Mr James L. Connaughton, Chairman, Council on Environmental Quality, The White House.

While speaking at a workshop on the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate (APP), organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry on Saturday, he said APP seeks the most profitable opportunities for this by raising energy efficiencies and measures that are economically beneficial.

APP, a partnership between six countries in the Asia-Pacific Region — USA, Australia, China, Japan, Korea and India — aims at reducing the GHG (Greenhouse Gas Emission) intensity in member countries.
