On lack of enforcing of the law on engine idling in the municipality of Copenhagen 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner draws attention to the fact that in the municipality of Copenhagen, the law introduced in 1990 (Idle State Regulation) which prohibits keeping of the engine idling for more than one minute, seems not being enforced by the Copenhagen police. The police in Copenhagen, in his view, cannot or does not wish to make someone liable for a fine for the infringement of such a law, considering it an excessive effort.
