PRESS RELEASE: European automotive industry calls for action on South Korean market access barriers

7 November 2013 – On the eve of Friday’s EU-South Korea summit, the European automotive industry calls for more to be done to dismantle barriers to trade in South Korea.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) and European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) have raised concerns about restricted access to the South Korean market due to previously-existing and newly-emerging non-tariff barriers.

European automotive industry welcomes progress on Digital Single Market

ACEA supports the European Commission in its aim of grasping the leadership in the digital economy.

The Truck of the Future: innovative, fuel-efficient, safe

The vision presented in the 2011 White Paper on Transport Policy is the one of “a competitive and resource-efficient transport system”. Its ultimate target is to achieve a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 - a challenging target to which all modes of transport need to contribute.

For road freight, one of the measures proposed by the European Commission is to adapt the current rules covering heavy goods vehicles (the ‘weights and dimensions’ directive 96/53), so that aerodynamic improvements can be made.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) welcomes a revision of this legislation. If the five key principles highlighted here are taken into account, this important and long-awaited proposal will represent a step in the right direction towards more innovative, more fuel-efficient and safer trucks for tomorrow.
