In early 1984, the Federal Republic of Germany proposed through their legislative process that all automobiles sold in Germany would have to meet the 1983 U.S.A. Federal emission levels by 1988/89. The European Commission under Count Davignon opposed this and reacted in mid 1984 by proposing two new emission regulations. E.C.E. 15.05 would have reduced the combined HC and NOx levels to 15 grams/test and the CO level to 45 grams/test for all cars dependent of their inertia weight, and would have become effective in 1989. E.C.E. 15.06 would have introduced 1983 U.S.A. federal emission control levels in 1995 for all cars. Considerable discussion and political activity ensued during the winter of 1984/85 and the spring of 1985 trying to resolve German desire for more rigorous emission control sooner and the rest of the European communities desire for less severe control levels at a pace which would allow all automobile companies and the regulatory groups in each country to be prepared. The resulting compromise announced by the entire European Community in March and June 1985 was to separate cars into categories dependent on the displacement of their engines. Technical problems of this compromise and semiconductor devices for the solution will be discussed.
