Twelve Greenpeace activists are handing out compasses to SPD politicians, during the SPD Economy Forum at the Willy-Brandt-Haus in Berlin. Greenpeace is asking which way the Social democrats will go: Giving billions to the big energy suppliers (NAP, National Allocation Plan) by not selling the CO2 certificates, or using the money for education, children, sick people and pensioners. So far, energy companies such as RWE and Vattenfall receive free pollution permits each year. If it's up to Minister of Environment Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) the CO2 emission rights will be given away for free to the energy giants. Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck, who opened the Economic Forum, is in favor of a sale of the permissions.
