    'From' is a rather vague word in this case, isn't it? The Commission can propose the fines but it is the ECJ that imposes the fines. There are some further logical clues within the article, for example:



    To quote assguru:
    well apparently no one imposed fines despite France committing an illegal act for years so yes you are right it doesn't help.

    If you are quoting Assguru to support your argument then you must know you have already lost

      I can't tell whether you're deliberately changing the subject because you're wrong, or whether you're just babbling.

      Either way, it's the CSE stream for you, laddy!

          It isn't the main factor, see map below, but pollution is going to be related to population, so adding 5%+ to our population due to EU migration is hardly helping. Among other measures, we need a more sensible economic model that does not depend on making our nation more and more overcrowded.

          Actually we don't look that bad on the map here, some parts of Eastern & Southern Europe look worse and you don't want to live in China!

            They started it by complaining about our pollution when it's exacerbated by them.

              Interesting linky on SE's linky just in case any missed it. All developing nations - presumably old cars, lower technology generally.

                European etc fuel distillers sell developing countries poor quality fuel they can't sell in developed countries as they are banned due to environmental regulations. Hence a lot of the pollution from cars, HGVs, buses, generators etc is due to them using poor quality fuel.
