"Mr President, who are we trying to protect by imposing limited requirements on the car industry? We talk about loopholes in the legislation. These are not loopholes. These are absolute motorways with emergency exits for the car industry, which avoids any responsibility and any requirements. Who benefits from this? Are we to continue to produce cars that no one in the world wants to drive? No. Most cars will in future be sold in India and China and other developing countries, and they want low-energy cars. Our planet wants low-energy cars and Europe’s consumers want low-energy cars. Are we, then, to allow the car industry to live in a fantasy world where they can continue to produce cars that no one wants? No. This is a bad policy for the environment, for consumers, for the economy and for research. A total failure, in other words. We are therefore unable to support this proposal."@en1
