I've not seen this mentioned on the list. The EU Parliament recently approved 
the statement that is "Expresses its opposition to proposals for large scale 
geo-engineering"
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+TA+P7-TA-2011-0430+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language=EN
at paragraph 90. This is part of the process of developing a common EU position 
going into Rio+20.
According to the New Scientist
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20996-political-backlash-to-geoengineering-begins.html
"The European Parliament's resolution was pushed through by Kriton Arsenis, a 
Greek Socialist MEP. If the other bodies in the European Union approve it, the 
anti-geoengineering statement could become part of the EU's negotiating 
position for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de 
Janeiro in June 2012. In theory, it could then be included in any international 
agreement that comes out of Rio."
