EU Nations Agree to Push Back CO2 Auto Limits to 2015. AFP, November 3, 2008. "EU member states are ready to grant automakers a three-year delay until 2015 to reduce the CO2 emissions of their new vehicles, in light of the global economic crisis, negotiators said Saturday. During a meeting Friday of representatives of the 27 nations, 'a consensus was reached' on pushing back the original 2012 deadline to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, one of the negotiators said. Several colleagues confirmed his remarks, as European automakers grapple with bloated inventories and falling sales brought on by the credit crunch and a wider economic downturn... The consensus now goes to the European Parliament for its consideration."
