EU Calls for Cuts of 20% in Exhaust From Vehicles BRIEFING: BRUSSELS

European Union regulators called for cuts of at least 20 percent in car exhaust, seeking to ease air pollution while making EU automakers the world leaders in clean-car production. The European Commission proposed stricter emissions standards, especially for diesel cars, starting as soon as 2008. It also proposed quotas for governments to buy low-emissions buses and trucks.
