General Assembly Resolution # 246
Repeal: “Vehicle Emissions Convention”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #239 “Vehicle Emissions Convention” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automotive) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Recognizing that it is necessary to reduce vehicular emissions to reasonable levels,
Nevertheless believing that the flaws present in GAR #239, "Vehicle Emissions Convention" necessitate the resolution's repeal,
Dismayed that the target resolution ignores the law of diminishing returns by requiring nations to implement a progressive schedule for the reduction of emissions even if current emissions levels are already relatively low, which has the potential to cause substantial hardship to the automobile industry with little to no resultant environmental or health benefits,
Concerned that the target resolution also recommends that emissions be reduced by an arbitrary 75 percent regardless of current emissions levels,
Lamenting the target resolution's creation of the "International Vehicular Emissions Authority", a wholly unnecessary committee that is powerless to fulfill its mandate of ensuring compliance with the target resolution since it has no mechanism for doing so,
Confused by the target resolution's requirement that the automotive industry set aside "proportionate funding" for the reduction of emissions, as the resolution does not state what the funding must be proportionate to,
The General Assembly,
Repeals GAR #239, "Vehicle Emissions Convention".
