Eurocities & @POLISnetwork are disappointed & concerned over the recent vote of the @Europarl_EN on #Euro7. 🌫  🚗

“We had hoped the @Europarl_EN would prioritise our citizens’ health & the environment", said @andresobczak, Eurocities' Sec Gen.

"Cities are leading the way toward a cycling revolution. Will the EU follow suit?" 🚲🏙️

The upcoming #cycling declaration of the @EU_Commission should be ambitious & far-reaching, says @koebenhavner 's Technical and Environmental Mayor #LineBarfod in this @euronews op-ed 🔽

Cycling in cities shouldn't feel like climbing a mountain. So why does it? 🏔️🚵

Read the results of our new #EurocitiesPulse survey 👉 https://t.co/utSfITb4z7

...and our advice to the @EU_Commission ahead of its #cycling declaration👉https://t.co/uwZBBBdh4F

[T&E (🦋 find us @transportenvironment.org) @transenv]

#Euro7 pollution standards would be effectively killed off under the new proposal from the Spanish Presidency.

By caving to the car lobby, the Commission would condemn people to breathe toxic air and give carmakers a license to greenwash polluting cars.
