- The EU Commission recommends reducing new car fleet CO2 emissions by 90% from 2035 instead of a full ban on combustion engines.

- The European Parliament and member states must approve or modify the proposal before it becomes binding.
- Most German citizens support easing the restrictions, and Chancellor Merz welcomes the shift without compromising climate goals.
The fundamental climate goals are not called into question, but a different path to achieving them is necessary.— Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz comments positively on the EU Commission's course change.
