Joint position ACEA/FuelsEurope on the intention of France to introduce B8 diesel

Following the intention of France to introduce B8 diesel on the French market, ACEA, representing the European automobile industry, and FuelsEurope, representing the European petroleum refining industry, believe that there should be uniformity through the entire EU fuels market across all Member States and therefore do not support the introduction by a Member State of diesel blends with FAME content higher than 7% volume (v/v) as a general market fuel.
