Car CO2 regulation: The case and content of an effective proposal
Following the unhelpful intervention of the Juncker Cabinet it would be preferable to delay the proposal and negotiate on key points to produce a stronger outcome.

The Commission is urged to make an effective car CO2 proposal including:
• A binding sales target for zero emission vehicles of at least 15% in 2020 and 35% in 2030
• An overall level of emissions reductions should be at least 35% from 2021 – 2030 with a binding mid-term target in 2025
• An enforcement mechanism to ensure that the FULL emissions cut is delivered on the road
