    Very disappointed in the EU. I guess when ecology conflicts with internal industries it doesn't matter anymore. How can I take the Paris Agreements seriously when they pull stuff like that?

      Well we know exactly where this is coming from.

      Germany’s interests in car manufacturing and laws for automakers is a key reason for this, Nedergaard said.

      At the same time, it should be acknowledged that what DK was aiming to achieve would have been impossible without border controls; hence the need for an EU solution.

        I don't think there is a need for that. I'll take London's automated congestion charge as proof.
