The European automobile industry is proceeding at full pace to reduce further CO2 emissions from its vehicles and is confident to meet legislative targets if a supportive policy and legislative framework is secured. The legislative proposal for limiting CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles, adopted today by the European Commission and subject to approval by the European Parliament and Member States, however disregards the economic reality as well as the specific characteristics of the vehicle segment concerned.
In line with the pledge not to introduce new, costly regulation during the crisis, the European Commission should have handed over this important legislative dossier to the next Commission team that will be working with the new European Parliament.
