On Tuesday night, the 27 member states of the European Union approved the Commission’s plan to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars from 2035.
The European Union has taken the measure of the importance of decisions concerning the climate by imposing to reduce to zero the CO2 emissions of new cars in Europe, from 2035. This proposal, announced by the European executive in July 2021, has finally become a reality, requiring that the sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the EU be stopped in 2035. This measure should help achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
However, alternative technologies, such as synthetic fuels or plug-in hybrids, will only be considered if they can completely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
At the same time, the G7 leaders, who met from June 26 to 28, agreed on the creation of a “climate club” to strengthen and expand cooperation in the fight against global warming, according to a joint statement issued Tuesday at the end of their summit in Germany. This climate club will be an “intergovernmental forum of great ambition” open to the whole world, explain the seven leaders. “We invite our partners, including major emitters, G20 members and other developing and emerging economies, to intensify discussions and consultations with us,” the statement added.
The forum, led by Germany, aims in particular to bring together countries that agree to common rules to avoid creating competitive disadvantages. The latter will have to jointly set ambitious targets and will be exempt from climate-related trade tariffs to which non-members would be subject. This would include setting standards for carbon pricing or deciding on uniform regulations for green hydrogen.
The Ferrari amendment
EU environment ministers also approved a five-year extension of the exemption from CO2 obligations granted to niche manufacturers or those producing fewer than 10,000 vehicles per year, until the end of 2035. This clause, called the “Ferrari amendment“, will benefit luxury brands in particular.
These measures must now be negotiated with MEPs. “This is a great challenge for our automotive industry,” acknowledged the French Minister of Ecological Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, who chaired the meeting on Tuesday. However, she said it was a “necessity” in the face of competition from China and the United States, which has already relied heavily on electric vehicles, seen as the future of the automotive industry. These decisions “upstream” will “allow a planned and accompanied transition“, she continued.
