"On Monday evening the large political groups in the European Parliament agreed a compromise with the Council of Ministers in respect of the requirements for CO
emissions for passenger cars under which the automotive industry will be able to continue unchanged in its dirty ways all the way to 2019.
The EU has signed up to the UN’s climate targets, under which industrialised countries are supposed to cut CO
emissions by between 25 and 40 per cent by 2020. The agreement on CO
emissions from cars is a bow to the car industry and it only serves to confirm that the EU’s promises in relation to climate change are not worth the paper they are written on.
Each time the EU is supposed to take a tangible step towards living up to its own promises and targets we hear all the bad excuses in the world for why it does not happen.
It is unbelievable that the majority in the European Parliament is prepared to endorse the continuation of this disgrace."@en1
