In his closing speech, Commissioner for Environment Mr Potočnik stressed that "the clean technology industry demanded stricter EU emission limit values for vehicles, as well as retrofitting requirements, improved emission test cycles, and promotion of SULEVs (Super Low Emission Vehicles). It also stressed that the EU should not stop at Euro 6. We need to keep pace with the latest developments elsewhere, and particularly in the US."
