BRUSSELS, Oct 29 - The European Commission is ready to support the car industry and help it achieve EU targets to curb CO2 emissions despite the economic crisis, EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said on Wednesday.

"We are open to the possibility of providing support for the development of low emission cars, high tech cars that could help the European motor industry maintain its global competitiveness," Barroso told a news conference.

He added that any aid to the car sector should comply with EU state aid rules.
