The European Commission welcomed Tuesday's support of the EP for its proposal to reduce in 2012 emissions from trucks and buses of nitrogen oxides by 80% and particulate matter by 66% compared to the Euro V stage.

"Today's agreement of the European Parliament is a good message for the environment. Soon we will have cleaner trucks and buses, which will be trendsetters worldwide," Commission Vice-President, GГјnter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry, commented.

The Euro VI proposal was developed following the recommendations from the High Level Group for Competitive Automotive Regulatory System for the 21st century (CARS 21).

„As agreed in CARS 21 we are creating a win-win situation - we strengthen the competitiveness of our producers, we keep jobs in Europe and we improve the environmental performance. This legislation is also an example better regulation. I invite the EU States to support this ambitious legislation," Mr Verheugen concluded.
