Politicians in the German state of Bavaria have voiced their opposition to proposals by the European Commission that would force automakers to make drastic cuts to
emissions in cars built after 2012.

Brussels may want to force European automakers to make big cuts to emissions on
new vehicles, but the German state of Bavaria is resisting the proposals.
比利时的布鲁塞尔州政府希望强制使欧洲汽车制造商生产的新车尾气排放量明显减少，但 德国的巴伐利亚州政府反对这项提议。
Politicians from the state that is home to automaker BMW say they are going to
oppose a European Commission proposal that would require vehicles built beginning in 2013 to emit a maximum of 120 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer of travel. Under the proposal carmakers whose fleets exceed the limits will face hefty fines.
来自宝马汽车公司故乡的州的政客说：“他们将反对欧盟委员会要求自2013开始汽车每公里最高排量为120克的议案。”根据新的议案，只要汽车制造商生产的汽车稍微超出该限制范围就将面临严重的罚款。

Bavarian politicians are now lobbying 11 EU member states to oppose the proposal -- expected to be among climate change regulations the commission will unveil on Jan.
23. The commission's plan would take effect after current regulations expire in 2012.
欧盟委员会将在1月23日发布气候改变法规的议案，巴伐利亚的政客们在这期间正在游说欧盟的11个成员国反对这项议案。欧盟委员会计划在2012废除现行的法规时新的法规即生效。
In a letter urging EU member states to oppose the emissions requirement, Markus
Söder, in charge of EU issues for Bavaria, wrote that the proposed sanctions against
automakers are "hostile to innovation and not helpful to climate protection."
巴伐利亚欧盟问题的主管Markus Söder 在一封信中号召欧盟各成员国反对这项尾气减排要求，说这项法案既无益于保护环境，又不利于汽车工业创新。

Söder is hoping to move a debate of the emissions policy to the European
Commission's Competitiveness Council, where officials may be more disposed to favor the concerns of automakers over the merits of this particular environmental policy.
Söder希望把尾气减排政策的争论问题转移给欧盟竞争理事会处理，那里的官员也许在这项环境政策与汽车制造商利益中更倾向于考虑汽车制造商的利益。
Söder's letter follows hot on the heels of complaints from the German Association of
the Automotive Industry (VDA), which represents major German automakers including
BMW, Daimler and Volkswagon, that the emissions requirement would put an unfair
burden on manufacturers of larger vehicles. The trade group has demanded "major
changes" to the proposed policy.
Söder的信件紧跟德国汽车工业协会的抱怨，它代表德国主要的汽车制造商包括宝马公司、戴姆勒公司、大众公司，这个尾气减排要求将给大排量汽车制造商的不公正的待遇。贸易集团得为新的议案方针做出很大的改变。
"With the current proposal ... neither the cause of environmental protection nor
economic reason is being served," VDA President Matthias Wissmann said last
December. "European environmental policy must not be set at the expense of a few
manufacturers."
德国汽车工业协会主席Matthias Wissmann在去年12月说：“根据新的议案，既无益于保护环境，又不利于经济。欧洲的环境政策不应该损害一些制造商的利益。”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel also spoke out against the proposed emissions
requirement last month. "This is industrial policy at Germany's expense," said Merkel. "
It is senseless to impose a penalty that bears no relation to the actual cost of carbon dioxide emissions."
上个月，德国总理Angela Merkel也公开反对尾气减排要求。“这项政策有损于德国的工业政策”，Merkel说，“加重承担没有关系的二氧化碳排放额外费用的罚款是个谬论。”
Though not new, Merkel's opposition to the emissions requirement stands in sharp
contrast to her recent push to combat climate change with bold policies in Germany
and the EU. In December her cabinet unveiled a plan to invest
