BRUSSELS, August 12 (RIA Novosti) European Union experts on Thursday do not plan on discussing the union's applications to the World Trade Organization regarding Russia's food ban, but will instead discuss the economic repercussions of them, an EU source told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

On Thursday, there will be no discussion among EU experts on the possibility to start dispute settlement procedures in the WTO against the Russian agri-food ban. There will be just a discussion on the implication of this restriction measure on the EU economy," the source said.

European Commission spokesman Roger White said Monday that the European Union was hoping to evaluate the impact of Russias ban of food imports from the 28-member bloc by Thursdays experts' meeting, but would not be ready to decide on how to replace the Russian market.

A panel of experts has already started looking at what is encompasses Russia's restrictions and their potential impact on other world markets, he said.

On Thursday, Russia introduced a one-year ban on agricultural and food product imports from the countries that have imposed sanctions on Moscow over the Ukrainian crisis, namely the European Union, the United States, Australia, Canada and Norway.

Banned products include meat, poultry, fish, seafood, milk, dairy products, fruits and vegetables. The embargo may cost the European Union a whopping $16 billion in export losses.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark The European Union's environment agency says the bloc's greenhouse gas emissions dropped by nearly 2 percent last year, putting the EU very close to reaching its emissions target for 2020.

That goal is to reduce emissions by 20 percent compared to 1990 levels.

The European Environment Agency said Tuesday that emissions already have fallen 19 percent, meaning the 28-nation bloc is likely to achieve a larger reduction than it aimed for.

The EEA projected that 2020 emissions will be 21 percent or 24 percent lower than they were in 1990, depending on whether planned climate action is implemented in full.

However, some countries weren't on track to meet their individual targets, including Germany and Spain.

Last week the EU set a target of cutting emissions by 40 percent by 2030.
