EU legislative proposals in the automotive sector

05 October 2010, 12:19 CET
— filed under:

The EU is the world's largest producer of motor vehicles. The automotive industry is therefore central to Europe's prosperity. It is a huge employer of skilled workforce and a key driver of knowledge and innovation. It represents Europe's largest private investor in research and development (R&D). It also makes a major contribution to EU's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and exports far more than it imports. The main objectives of the European Commission regarding the automotive sector are: To strengthen the competitiveness of the automotive industry; To complete, adapt and simplify the Internal Market regulatory framework; and To promote globalisation of the technical regulatory framework through UNECE.
