Aston Martin chief hits at EU emissions law

European Union legislation targeting emissions from cars has already brought complaints from other makers of luxury cars. Aston Martin chief executive Ulrich Bez, however, believes the way the legislation is structured puts Aston Martin at a particular disadvantage. In an interview with the Financial Times, May 2008, Mr Bez also described the discussion surrounding CO2 and the environment as 'a business' and 'a political thing'.
