Brussels warns carmakers: meet targets to slash CO2 emissions or face laws Date: Thursday, August 31 @ 03:46:29 PDT Topic: Public Policy; Political and Legal News
Car manufacturers were given a blunt warning yesterday from Brussels, which said companies would face stringent laws if they failed to abide by their commitment to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
European, Japanese and Korean carmakers were threatened with the "stick" of mandatory cuts in the polluting emissions after figures showed that they were on course to miss a 25% reduction in CO2 levels by 2009.
