In her vlog, Labour MEP Miriam Dalli today speaks about ambitious proposals to reduce CO₂emissions from new vehicles in the coming years.

She is leading the European Parliament in its negotiations on the European Unionʾs car emission standards beyond 2020, considered as one of the most critical EU legislations that can help reduce emissions across the EU.

The draft regulation tries to address three key problems: insufficient uptake of electric and low-emissions vehicles; the possibility that consumers might be missing out on fuel savings; and the EU´s risk of losing its competitive advantage due to insufficient innovation in low-emission automotive technologies.
