MEPs reject vehicle noise amendment

European Voice reports that the European Parliament's environment committee (ENVI, as it is rather bizarrely known) has rejected an attempt to dilute a European Commission proposal for stricter vehicle noise limits, by a single vote. This is the proposal opposition to which in the Parliament seemed to have Porsche's fingerprints all over it (see earlier post).

Czech MEP Miroslav Ouzký, rapporteur for the committee, said after the vote that he will not begin negotiations with member states based on the committee vote. Instead he will try to get the decision reversed in a plenary vote by the full Parliament.
