The vote initially scheduled for next week will take place at a “later council meeting” on a date yet to be announced.
Climate scientist Pierre Friedlingstein talks with FOX Television Stations' Chris Williams about his report that paints a grim picture for the earth if carbon emissions aren't reduced in 11 years.The adoption by European Union member countries of new carbon dioxide emission standards for cars and vans has been postponed amid opposition from Germany and conservative lawmakers, the presidency of the EU ministers' council said Friday.
Germany’s transportation minister said this week that his country would not back a proposed EU ban on the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035. He wanted assurances from the bloc’s executive arm that there would be an exemption for synthetic fuels. "The ban will prevent innovation and cost thousands of jobs and will lead to the decline of a core European industry," said Jens Gieseke, the EPP Group lead negotiator on the planned regulation.
The plan, which is part of the bloc’s effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, effectively means that the sale of new cars that burn hydrocarbon-based fuels such as petroleum would be banned.
