"The emissions produced by passenger cars and their adverse effect on the environment must not be overlooked in the European Union’s efforts to combat the effects of climate change. The European Parliament and Council have agreed that by 2020, the new car fleet’s average level of emissions must not exceed 95 g of CO
/km. At the moment, the car industry has undertaken to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 140 g/km by 2008 as part of a voluntary agreement signed in 1998. In view of the voluntary nature of this target, the efforts made to reduce emissions have been negligible, with a level of 186 g/km in 1995 falling to just 163 g/km in 2004.
The new regulation introduces a mandatory scheme for reducing CO
emissions, including a system of penalties for those who fail to meet this target, along with incentives for creating innovative technologies. By 2014, 80% of the car fleet will conform to the standards, while the penalty for every gram above the limit will be EUR 95 after 2019. The final compromise ensures a balance between the needs of consumers, environmental protection and a sustainable industrial policy."@en1
