Air pollution: scheme to monitor the average emissions of carbon dioxide CO₂ from new passenger cars

The Committee adopted the report by Mrs Laura GONZÁLEZ ÁLVAREZ (EUL/NGL, E), concerning a proposal for a Council Decision designed to monitor emissions of CO2 from new passenger cars. Amendments adopted by the committee seek to include light commercial vehicles (a significant source of CO2 emissions in urban areas) within the remit of the proposal, to bring forward various deadlines, to add vehicle body size to the information to be collected, and to require data to be grouped by manufacturer.�
