Summary
Seven EU member states (Denmark, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden) have called for maintaining ambitious climate goals regarding the phase-out of combustion engine vehicles. In a joint letter, they warned that weakening the CO2 reduction legislation in the automotive sector would be a "strategic error" that undermines integrity and predictability. This comes amid pressure from Germany and others seeking further relaxations to the planned ban on internal combustion engines.
