"In 1948, the first Beetle consumed 7.5 litres of petrol for every 100
km.
In 2008, the new Beetle consumes...the same! 7.5 litres of petrol for
every 100 km."
"The Industry Committee has voted earlier on 1st of September an
opinion which would significantly
weaken this bill a great deal, a vote which which is in stark
contrast with public opinion.
A recent poll showed that 87%% of European citizens think measures to
require carmakers to reduce the
fuel consumption of new cars by 25%% should be urgently introduced, and
that europeans consider climate
change to be the second biggest serious problem (62%%) facing the
world, after poverty (68%%).
It is extremely worrying and disappointing that the Industry Committee
put the interests of the
car industry over the people and the environment.
On 25 September the Environment Committee will cast a vote on 25
September which will play an essential role in the final outcome of
the bill.
Please tell your MEPs to vote for the people and the climate.
And spread the news."
