UN climate talks underway prolonged Friday while more than 190 countries arguing over the barriers for new pact to slow global warming .
Draft text of the new pact , which was released at the last day , which is scheduled for a two -week conference in Warsaw , only gives vague guidance on when countries should submit their targets limit carbon emissions . It is a key element of the agreement should be approved in Paris in 2015.
Although the EU and U.S. urged to clear deadline for the announcement of the target , it simply calls the draft text , the commitment should be brought " long before '' the Paris summit . U.S. envoy Todd Stern called for " a more assertive language '' so that there is progress in the negotiations .
The European Union would like to express its targets in 2014 and U.S. eyeing early 2015 to allow time for the review process before the Paris summit . But some countries , including China, the world's biggest carbon polluters , are reluctant to set a deadline .
The Chinese delegation Liu Zhenmin said China should not be expected to reduce emissions at the same level as industrialized countries , which builds its economy with fossil fuels .
