Crit'Air sticker for France - do we need one?

[TJBi]

We have one, if we hadn't would probably get one, saying that, last year the French parliament voted to abolish them, but the law hasn't yet been introduced, and they might be handy for Spain who accept them for foreign registered vehicles.

To the best of my knowledge, the vote was not to abolish Crit'Air stickers but the LEZs and that vote has not yet passed into law. Even if/when LEZs are abolished, the stickers might still be of use if short-term restrictions are implemented due to poor air quality.

And as stated by Colinm, the acceptance of the French sticker in Spain as an equivalent permission would continue to be useful.

Whats the situation in Spain for UK vans ?

Spain only issues emissions certificate/stickers for Spanish registered vehicles. Other nationalities cannot apply, however the government gives an equivalent acceptance of the French crit air scheme, I haven't read of other countries doing similar.
The British system is (over) simply to charge vehicles for entry as in London, so nothing else is available to UK residents other than the french system. I would be curious as to wether the German sticker is acceptable too.
I don't believe non Spanish vehicles are subject to restrictions, but it would be good to know.
Ideally we are for Italy in may, any personal experience by members with regard to the Italian approach would be appreciated.

Spain accepts both French & German emissions stickers [*think* Portugal may do the same, but no sure]

I ordered my crit'Air sticker for all vehicles (I have a moped on the back of my motorhome and also tour by motorbike) and it was a right carry on. You have to register all vehicle details and then upload the V5 form. BUT, it has to be less than 400kb and only in certain formats. To get round it I had to email the photos to myself, save them to my MacBook, manually change the file extension from jpeg to png and only then would the site accept my application. I received email confirmation immediately which is all you need if you are stopped, the stickers should arrive by post soon.

Even if you don't plan to go in the areas,you could get diverted into one
