The problem is the state of debt EU countries have been placed into by the recession restricts much of the commitment of money by the poorer members. The question of pledging by the poorer members would also need the help to obtain the said CO2 emission would also need funding from the richer members of EU.

The monetary help to the third World will never match the amount the third world says it needs. At a guess far to much, India want the richer nation to pledge 40% and of course needs loads of cash to fund its meager 20% pledge.

Remembering money given to the developing nations will see 10% finding its way into corrupt pockets. Arm twisting will be giving cash incentive out of the EU pot of gold, grants etc to help the poor nations sway the right way. "You do this and we will do that" and its the "that" that is in question.
