Francia y Alemania presionan para permitir la venta de coches de combustión en la UE después de 2035
Alemania acepta más ‘made in Europe’ en la industria del automóvil a cambio de que Francia admita relajar la agenda verde que prohibía los vehículos más contaminantes a partir de esa fecha
France and Germany are urgently pushing to allow the sale of combustion engine cars in the EU beyond 2035. This controversial stance, favorable to their respective national interests, comes after a troubled relationship between the two major European powers. The two countries have agreed on a common position to permit the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles after 2035, a move that is highly contentious and goes against the European green agenda.
In return, Berlin agrees to Paris's demands that future cars contain more European components, or "made in Europe," a label that signifies policies aimed at promoting European production and sales.
The pact, announced on Friday, does not initially include other EU member states, but it significantly eases the negotiation of two stalled regulations within the EU Council and the European Parliament. Most importantly, it solidifies the brake on decarbonization policies that would have made 2035 a milestone for banning polluting cars. It remains to be seen how other EU member states will react to this two-faced agreement.
