Carmakers challenge Brussels to put up or shut up

European carmakers feel the European Commission seems to be out of touch with the hard realities of the market. They argue that the draconian plan it is trying to push through to reduce CO2 emissions is a luxury the industry can hardly afford. If the Commission insists on going ahead with its tough new regulations, then the industry says it should put up the money to enable it to adapt, or shut up.
