People in The Netherlands are disappointed with the outcome of the climate deal at Copenhagen, Anja Timmer, Member of the Dutch Parliament, said here on Monday.

Ms. Timmer told The Hindu that there was a general sense of disappointment over the deal as hopes were raised with the arrival of the world leaders. “Expectations were too high but we should carry these hopes for the next meeting on climate change at Mexico at the end of the year,” she said.

Ms. Timmer heads a seven-member delegation of MPs to India during, which they will discuss outsourcing and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives with the Indian business houses.

The two sides will also discuss the problems faced by the Indian industries in investing in Holland and vice-versa.
