The Vice President of the European Commission Green Deal, Frans Timmermans announced this Saturdayn agreement with Germany to relieve the interference to the ban on burning guns in 2035
“We have reached an agreement with Germany on the use of synthetic fuels in future cars,” Timmermans announced on Twitter.
Brussels had raised the possibility suitable synthetic fuels in the treated environment for the ban on the sale of combustion vehicles in the European Union (EU) from 2035 was a paralyzing measure, because the German government wants to include this type of fuel in the agreement.
The measure was postponed from the beginning of March
The final step is to adopt a definitive ban on the sale of combustion vehicles – including gasoline, diesel and hybrid vehicles – by 2035 extended on March 3 last-minute doubts expressed by Germany and Italy.
This is part of the new rule climate package than the EU He wants to promote this law to reduce polluting emissions by at least 55% in the horizon of 2030 and with respect to those of 1990.
The measure had already been approved in the plenary session of the European Parliament on February 14, but was discussed in the parliamentary environment, where Germany shows reluctance to reach an agreement between the institutions which is already established next autumn.
“Now we need to implement CO2 standards for cars as soon as possible”, added Timmermans, before suggesting a legal framework for the inclusion of synthetic materials this will only be developed when the basic consensus is unlocked and assumed by 27°.
Vehicles with synthetic fuels to be sold by 2035
For his part, the German Minister of Transport, Volker Wissing, the promoter of the change, stated on Twitter for his reason. “Vehicles with internal combustion engines can continue to be registered after 2035 if they only refuel with CO2 neutral fuel”. “Neither of Europe remains technologically,” added the Liberal Democrat minister.
There was a dispute with Germany once; blocking the minority in the Council is diluted that the method established with Italy must be stopped and all that remains is to submit the final adoption of the next European plan to the ministers by a vote of 27.
