BRUSSELS -

open the whole deal, that's not what we're doing."

This was stated by the vice president of the EU Commission, Frans Timmermans, on the sidelines of the pre-summit of the EU socialists in Brussels, speaking of the ongoing negotiations with Berlin for the ratification of the agreement to stop internal combustion engines in 2035. 'is already a majority in the Parliament and in the EU Council", he highlighted.

"There is already consensus" in the EU on allowing the use of cars with internal combustion engines after 2035 using e-fuels.

"

Now it's really just a matter of finding the right way in a pragmatic way to implement this promise that the Commission made a long time ago."

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this when he arrived at the European Council in Brussels.

The idea, he said, is that "there should be a regulation proposed by the European Commission to ensure that after 2035 vehicles that can be used exclusively on e-fuel can continue to be registered."
