The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has rejected the UN deadline of January 31 for submission of emission targets and climate actions under the Copenhagen Accord. PTI quoting sources in the PMO reports, the Prime Minister is particularly unhappy over the repeated persistence from Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and United Secretary General Ban-Ki-Moon to accede to the January 31 deadline for target submission.<br/><br/>Dr. Singh has also apparently questioned the legal status of the various provisions included in the Accord which is silent on the Kyoto Protocol based on equity burden sharing among the member nations. The sources said, before going ahead with targets submission, the Prime Minister wants to be clarified on certain issues which are silent in the Ban's letter. Dr.Singh has also expressed inability to detail the country's action plan and targets in such a short period.<br/><br/>Only four countries — Australia, Canada, Papua New Guinea and the Maldives — have signed the Copenhagen Accord so far, while Cuba has rejected it.
