As the European Commission has touted the upcoming revision of the law banning new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, France and Spain urged EU leaders to “stay on track” saying that zero-emissions vehicles are “indispensable”, according to an official letter seen by Euronews.
Paris and Madrid argued that if the ban on zero-emission cars is reversed, the bloc will not succeed in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, a pledge that is now binding under the EU’s climate law and will likely be discussed by EU leaders during the European Council in Brussels on Thursday.
