Meanwhile, U.S. President George W. Bush is not feeling well and has had to skip a morning working session. French President Nicolas Sarkozy held hourlong talks with Bush this morning and said afterward that Bush would rejoin the working meeting as soon as he can.
White House counsellor Dan Bartlett said Bush had a stomach ailment which he described as "not serious".
On June 7, G8 leaders agreed to seek "substantial" cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions in an effort to tackle global warming. No mandatory targets for emissions cuts were set.
