The Government considers that the 147g/km target could have been more ambitious. It is a numerical issue. For example, the target for vans is 90g/km. Is it agreed that the proposal does not warrant further scrutiny? Agreed.

It is proposed that COM (2012) 577 does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed that COM (2012) 643 warrants further scrutiny by way of a letter to the Secretary General of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government requesting that the joint committee be kept updated on significant developments relating to this proposal. Is that agreed?
