Parliament and Council reached a first reading agreement on CO2 emission targets for new passenger cars in November 2013. The agreed text specifies modalities for reaching a CO2 emissions target of 95 g/km by the end of 2020. It allows for flexibility in the use of so called super-credits, which encourage production of cars with very low emissions. The agreement aims at maintaining the EU's ambitious climate policies while addressing the car industry's concerns over jobs and competiveness.
