Carbon dioxide emissions from transport have continued to grow in the European Union, despite a slight reduction from overall sources, EU data for 2006 released on Wednesday showed. European Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas also warned of an increase in CO2 emissions last year among the 12 newer EU states, mostly in eastern Europe.
"The emission increases in the majority of EU-12 countries are not helpful," he said. Emissions in eastern Europe fell dramatically during the 1990s when their economies suffered after the collapse of communism, and they are pushing for these emissions reductions to be recognised by the EU. "The EU-12 countries have to bear in mind that they cannot rely on the successes of the past," Dimas said.
Emissions from road transport rose 0.7 percent in 2006 while overall emissions within the bloc fell 0.3 percent, the European Environment Agency said as it released its most recent detailed emissions data. Emissions of greenhouse gases from international aviation and shipping continued to rise sharply in 2006.
