摘要

Brussels—The European Commission Jan. 23 said it would postpone the publication of three linked proposals designed to reduce vehicle carbon dioxide emissions because of internal disagreement.rnThe Commission's environment spokeswoman, Barbara Helfferich, told BNA the proposals, initially due for publication Jan. 24, had been put on hold because Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso "perceived the differences [within the Commission] are still too big."rnShe added that no new publication date for the proposals could be given.
