Environmentalists are asking Schmid to strive for a high and immediate CO2 tax.In original language:Klima Aktion im Automobil-Salon in GenfWährend seines Rundgangs am Autosalon haben Greenpeace-AktivistInnen den Bundespräsidenten Samuel Schmid und dessen Begleittross immer wieder mit Transparenten „CO2-Abgabe jetzt“ konfrontiert. Die Umweltschützer fordern Schmid auf, sich für eine hohe und sofortige CO2-Abgabe einzusetzen. Denn auch der pompöse 75. Autosalon in Genf zeigt: Die Autoindustrie pusht primär verbrauchsintensive und klimaschädigende Grossfahrzeuge mit hohem CO2-Ausstoss. Bundespräsident Schmid sitzt im Patronat und im Ehrenkomitee des diesjährigen Autosalons. Der Gesamtbundesrat wird demnächst über die CO2-Abgabe entscheiden. Dann dürfen nicht Patronatspflichten gegenüber der Autolobby entscheiden, sondern der Klimaschutz und damit das Wohl der Bevölkerung muss im Vordergrund stehen.Locations:Europe, East Europe, Alpine Countries-Geneva-SwitzerlandDate:3 Mar, 2005Credit:© Greenpeace / Ex-Press / Michael WürtenbergMaximum size:1873px X 2200pxRestrictions:FOR NON-COMMERCIAL GREENPEACE PUBLISHED MATERIAL.

Even the pompous 75th Auto Salon in Geneva shows that the auto industry pushes primarily climate-consuming and intensive large vehicles with high CO2 emissions. Federal Schmid takes part in the patronage and in the Honorary Committee of the Motor Show this year. The total Federal Council will soon decide on this subject. It should not be the obligations of the car lobby that decide, but the climate and hence the welfare of the population should be the priority.
