Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands fell by around 2 percent in 2005 from a year earlier and were at approximately the same level they were in 1990.ย  โ€œIt’s a good thing, but they (the Dutch) still have a way to go in order to meet their targets under Kyoto,โ€ said Joris Thijssen of Greenpeace, referring to the international treaty under which the Netherlands agreed to reduce its emissions to 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2010.
