Peter Liese: Very important proposal / Issue must finally be resolved / Automotive industry must stop blaming Brussels / Recognition of green steel must also be possible before 2035

On Tuesday, the European Commission presented its important proposal to abolish the ban on combustion engines. Dr. Peter Liese, climate policy spokesperson for the largest political group in the European Parliament (EPP, Christian Democrats), welcomed the proposal: "It is very important that the Commission has now made this proposal. This tiresome issue must be resolved quickly. The decision to ban combustion engines was wrong. We can achieve climate protection without banning combustion engines. On the other hand, the problems the automotive industry are facing in Europe are only partly caused by the ban on combustion engines. The industry must stop blaming Brussels for its own mistakes and for market developments, for example in China. In the parliamentary process, I will advocate above all for the recognition of green steel to be possible before 2035. The industry needs clear market signals as soon as possible."
