Key FactsMerz-Macron Paper Would Weaken Europe’s Combustion-Engine Phaseout

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: taz.de

Germany and France agreed Friday on a joint position to loosen the combustion-engine phaseout planned for 2035.

Under it, the EU’s new-car CO₂ reduction target would fall from 100 to 90 percent compared with 2021.

The plans still need to be advanced within the EU; Emmanuel Macron expressed hope for a quick agreement with remaining partners.

Susanne Goetz warned that, if adopted by the EU, the proposal could ultimately seal Europe’s automotive industry decline.

When Germany and France, with a weak exit plan, are suggesting a supposed future market for combustion engines, Germany's ailing carmakers are today developing vehicles for which there will be no market tomorrow.
— Greenpeace board member Martin Kaiser, reacting to the agreement and criticizing the weak exit plan
