EU states sign off new CO2 rules for cars and vans
By EUobserver
The EU's agriculture ministers rubber-stamped a new regulation on the future of cars on Monday, on behalf of their environment colleagues. The new regulation was the result of a political compromise and was already agreed by a large majority in the European Parliament. Cars that are sold in the EU in 2030 will have to be 37.5% cleaner in terms of CO2 emissions, compared to 2021.
