Germany blocks agreement on car CO_2 emissions

摘要

Discussions on car CO_2 emissions will now have to be postponed, following Germany's opposition at last week's Environment Council in Luxembourg to a deal on car CO_2 emissions agreed in June. Germany's lack of co-operation in debating the car CO_2 rules on 14 October led many member states to accuse the country of slowing down the EU's efforts to limit vehicle emissions.
