Car CO2 emissions: MEPs reach a deal with Lithuanian Presidency of the Council

An informal agreement on new rules to achieve the 2020 CO2 emission target of 95g/km for new cars was reached by the European Parliament and member state negotiators on the 26 November 2013. The file had to be reopened after EU ministers failed to endorse a previous informal deal on it with Parliament.
