VIENNA, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Drivers in Austria guilty of extreme speeding will have their cars seized and auctioned off, the government said on Monday, seeking to deter "boy racers" by threatening to take away their prize possession. Local authorities say they are trying to bring illegal street races and other cases of extreme speeding under control. Specifically, anyone caught driving 60 km per hour (37 miles per hour) above the speed limit in towns, where the speed limit is usually up to 50 kph, or 70 kph above the limit elsewhere, where the limit is up to 130 kph, will have their car seized for up to two weeks, according to the government's plan. The latest plan is in addition to measures introduced last year that increased how long drivers lose their licenses for in cases of speeding and extreme speeding. "He who has no car anymore cannot speed anymore.

Ireland and Spain had also warned Brussels against labelling investments in gas as "green". Gewessler said labelling gas, a fossil fuel, as a green energy investment had damaged the credibility of the EU rules. Environmental campaigners including Greenpeace launched separate legal challenges last month against the rules, which they said violated the EU's own climate laws.
