Absurd bureaucracy yet again. So an otherwise perfectly sound and serviceable car is to be scrapped just because its exhaust isn't as squeaky clean as an EU regulation insists? That is utterly ridiculous.

How much CO2 is going to be created in (a) scrapping a perfectly good car; and (b) creating its replacement? I'll bet it's a million times more than the pathetic amount saved by the lower emissions engine.

Unfortunately, the boneheads who create these policies have such tunnel vision that they can't see the bigger picture - their supposed attempts to limit environmental damage are actually having the directly opposite effect.

This is taking the concept of built-in obsolescence to heights undreamed of even by car manufacturers, and I'm sure they will be deeply grateful to the EU for this measure.

If you want the standard of the taxi's to meet the standard's of a taxi in Pakistan and not of the EU, why do you not go and buy, and drive one in Pakistan.
If you want to live in this country start to live to the standards of this country
