France and Spain are calling on the European Union to stick with plans to ban
combustion engine cars in the bloc after 2035, at odds with German Chancellor
Friedrich Merz ahead of a meeting of leaders in Brussels this week. From a
report: The European Commission, the bloc's executive branch, is currently
reviewing rules designed to accelerate the automotive sector's green
transition. Merz has called on the bloc to give up its 2035 deadline to help
Germany's troubled car industry. France and Spain "hope that the upcoming
review will preserve the 2035 cap and the environmental ambition of the CO2
emissions trajectory that underpins it," a paper presented to climate
ministers in Luxembourg on Tuesday, and seen by Bloomberg says. "This
revision should in no way call into question the zero emissions exhaust
target in 2035."
