The UK CO2 emissions have fallen by about 30% since 1990, with a few notable exceptions many of the EU countries have the same or higher CO2 levels compared with 1990. Ireland eg is 10% higher than 1990. The UK current per capita CO2 emissions are much lower than eg Germany, in part due to the UK de-industrialisation and creation of a service industry, the UK is still around the 8th/9th biggest manufacturing economy in the world, so quite an achievement such a reduction under the circumstances. EU has overall higher CO2 emissions compared to 1990 30% of which is from transport and is about to hammer its car industry big time with sustainable green investment criteria, and tough emissions standards coming in very shortly, which will screw the industry in the EU and starve it of investment for the new green technologies (as per the industry ). Recently forecast that a million manufacturing jobs are at risk in Germany

Already ,Mercedes, VW have major investment and manufacturing facilities being built in China, if the EU follows this path out of step with the rest of the world we may see production moving to the UK and elsewhere.
