BRUSSELS—The European Union’s top court dismissed a complaint on Thursday brought by the cities of Brussels, Madrid, and Paris against the European Commission in which they accused it of setting car emissions limits for nitrogen oxides too high.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) thereby overruled an earlier judgment in favor of the cities from the General Court, the EU’s second-highest chamber, which prompted an appeal by Germany, Hungary, and the Commission.
