BERLIN - Germany’s Greens said on Sunday they planned to use their strength in the upper house of parliament to sharpen a government climate protection package that disappointed many activists.

The 50 billion euro package, setting out a roadmap for the greening of Europe’s largest economy over coming decades, included incentives to buy electric cars, surcharges for domestic flights and extra money for the national railway.
