I understand that you want to continue to work in cooperation with the United States in order to ensure a continental approach. However, you made an announcement yesterday about greenhouse gas emissions by vehicles. You said in this regard that a regulation would be forthcoming but you did not give any details about the standards that would apply. Ultimately, you didn't tell us anything.
In comparison, President Obama asked his administration on January 25, 2009, to speed up the process to ensure that 2007 legislation on fuel consumption would apply to vehicles starting in 2011. This legislation will ensure that American cars will get an average fuel consumption of 6.7 litres per 100 km, equal to the standard in California, by 2020 at the latest.
Could you also make an official commitment today with regard to the announcement you made yesterday to harmonize our vehicle standards with those in force in the United States, but in keeping with President Obama's approach, meaning in keeping with Californian standards?
