Brussels - Automobile Clubs ..... 18June08

Sports Utility Vehicles:

The Brussels SUV & 4x4 club My Truck is My Castle, which has been one of the main targets of action by environmental and local residents NGOs concerning the problems of air pollution and climate change last week publicly acknowledged that cars driven by its members may have some sort of environmental and health impact.

The newly elected president of the club told journalists that the club board informed its members that appropriate action was now necessary and that it would come in form of a sticker that will have to be put on the back of members' SUVs and 4x4s. According to membership rules members must comply with such requirements or face exclusion from the club.

The new club rule will teake effect on 1 July, but Planet Lasse can reveal that the club president's SUV already sports the new sticker.
