Emissions from air conditioning systems in motor vehicles

2003/0189B(COD)

The Commission rejected Parliament’s sole amendment and stated that the amendment does not add anything to the proposal. Member States are already allowed to grant fiscal incentives provided that they comply with state aid rules, particularly the Guidelines on State Aid for environmental protection as well as on Commission notice on the application of the State aid rules to measures relating to direct business taxation. Such measures have to be notified to the Commission and assessed on a case by case basis.
