10 April 2008 - PARIS, FRANCE Greenpeace activists parody French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel as bride and groom on the Champs Elysée in Paris. With this parody wedding, Greenpeace is highlighting the danger that the Franco-German partnership will result in very weak European regulations, benefiting a German car industry that is both influential and dirty. Greenpeace argues that to fight climate change, the European Union must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the transport sector.
