Meacher clashes with EC over 'fridge mountain'
European Commissioner Margot Wallstrom yesterday accused the UK environment minister, Michael Meacher, of "playing the Eurosceptic card" after he blamed the commission for Britain's fridge mountain.
Britain signed a deal on the removal of ozone-depleting gases from fridges two years ago but still has no plant capable of carrying out the work, leaving local authorities with a fridge mountain growing by 6500 a day.
