Emissions from air conditioning systems in motor vehicles

 The Conciliation Committee reached agreement on a joint text for the directive relating to emissions from air conditioning systems in motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC. The main issue was the possibility for Member States to promote the installation of air conditioning systems in vehicles with low greenhouse gas emissions by introducing fiscal or other incentives. The agreement  reached in conciliation provided for Member States to promote the installation of air conditioning systems which are efficient and innovative, further reduce climate impact and respect Community rules on state aids.
