BRUSSELS bosses were blasted for “kowtowing” to China and India at COP26 without putting up a proper fight.
Amid growing disappointment at a last-minute climb-down over coal at the climate summit, a blame game erupted in the West.
Senior Government figures heaped responsibility on “no mark” EU negotiator Frans Timmerman, who has been branded the “missing man”.
He was slammed for allowing the Chinese and the Indians to change “phase out” to “phase down” on coal use.
It was nodded through by the EU and US to avoid a total collapse.
The EU’s MEPs also blasted the bloc for not delivering cash for poorer countries to go green.
Irish MEP Ciarán Cuffe raged: “The EU should have done more to assist vulnerable countries.”
French MEP Karima Delli blasted: “We are really the very, very poor students of COP26.”
