EU countries have agreed to seek 35 percent CO2 cut on cars by 2030. It comes after a UN report on global warming, that offered a stark warning over emissions.

The compromise will now be discussed by the European parliament, which wants a more more ambitous green target, and the Commission which wants a less stringent one.
