It constituted a departure from previous European Union car emission policy - making based on the incremental tightening of car emission limits in line with the advancement of the best available technology. The Auto - Oil I Programme was developed within a 'tripartite dialogue' between the Commission and the automobile and oil industries. It aimed at achieving environmental quality objectives through the adoption of the most cost - effective regulation. This article explains why the Commission's 'new approach' was rejected by the Environmental Council and the European Parliament which adopted significantly more stringent standards within the codecision procedure.
