Ironically the proposal comes from a British politician (I was under the impression, that our British friends hate EU bureaucracy more than others - and I completely agree with them).
BTW the former German federal government (during the era of the former "red-green" coalition) analysed the effect on Co2 emissions in case of a general speedlimit on the Autobahn. The result: 1% less car-emissions (mind you, car emissions account for only 15% or so of the total emissions).
Hence even one of the most harcore greens (former federal minister for the environment, Mr. Trittin, kind of green Ayatollah) admitted in an TV interview, that a speedlimit would do nothing to really save emissions - therefore he would be against it 
I guess this proposal is just another attempt from an unknown politician to get his 15 minutes fame though - it won't become law (just as the crazy attempt to restrict the Co2 Emissions of all cars to 130 g/km fortunatley failed)
The politicians are getting just as crazy in the U.S. Frankly, the global warming scare is being used to increase government control over our lives. IMHO, the limited freedoms we have are being gradually eliminated, all without any real proof that driving our cars causes global warming.
The whole global warming scare is based on the logical fallacy of "post hoc, ergo propter hoc," which translated from Latin means "after this, therefore because of this." These goofballs (politicians and the scientists who claim consensus for the notion that human activity causes global warming) just want to scare us into giving up our great performance cars.
Have any of these so-called scientists tried to get a good measurement of the amount of solar radiation hitting the earth? It does vary from day to day, month to month, and year to year. The earth has experienced such warming and cooling trends over the past thousands and millions upon millions of years, all without human activity. What makes them think this isn't happening again?
Well, NUTS TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
