Press Release: European Commission authorises changes to a French aid scheme to promote less polluting transport

The Commission on 9 November 2005 gave the French authorities the go-ahead to modify an aid scheme it had authorised on 5 March 2003 to limit greenhouse gas emissions caused by transport activities. The changes which the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (Ademe) had made to the multiannual scheme were considered to comply with the objectives of sustainable development, in conformity with the European Union's commitments in the framework of the Kyoto Protocol.
