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."
