EU chief blasted for proposing car ban in major cities

EUROPE’S transport chief has called for cars to be banned from all other major cities across Europe under a draconian EU masterplan to cut CO2 emissions by 60% over the next 40 years.

Critics immediately rounded on EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas’s strategy.

The Association of British Drivers branded the proposal economically disastrous and a “crazy” restriction on mobility.
