THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT said that the discussions of agreement on emission limits for small cars at the Environment Council on 8-9 June had begun in an unsatisfactory fashion with little regard being paid by Member States to economic realities and evident preoccupation with public relations considerations. Against this background Lord Caithness had done well to
cure an outcome acceptable to the United Kingdom. hough the dates for implementation for the new
Standards had been brought forward to 1 July 1992 for newly
etered cars it had been accepted that there should be no interim standard. The Commission had also undertaken to come forward with measures to limit carbon dioxide
emissions. Separately proposals had been agreed for the banning of imports of ivory.
