According to the decision of the Council of the EU, from 2035 it will not be possible to register a car with an internal combustion engine in the EU. The representative of the government has no doubts about what is at stake.
The Council of the European Union today approved a project according to which until 2035 a ban on the registration of cars with internal combustion engines will be introduced. The decision stems from a desire to tighten carbon emissions standards.
EU bans ICE vehicles
“Poland voted against a ban on the registration of new internal combustion vehicles after 2035. The opaque and informal discussions in which the Germans are pushing for solutions that are mostly beneficial to their market show that this has nothing to do with a just transition. In our opinion, the decisive factor in the choice of technologies for the coming decades should be the market and societies, and not coercion of the EU,” Minister Anna Moscow wrote on Twitter.
- It is bad news. Poland expressed its opposition from the very beginning. We have said from the very beginning that energy transformation is one of the important elements in building the future of the EU and its technological advantage. But it can’t happen that fast This was stated by government spokesman Petr Muller on TVP Info.
“In the end, low- and middle-income people will pay for this pace, and the rich will manage. This is a problem with the philosophy adopted in the EU, according to which the costs of energy conversion are passed on to the less wealthy, and not to the rich. added.
Ban on the sale of vehicles with internal combustion engines. “This is a game of national interest”
- The main argument is precisely the shifting of costs. Combustion vehicles are still cheaper than electric vehicles, so they are mainly bought by less wealthy people. said a government spokesman.
“It’s also about pace. Right now, even in terms of energy storage, the technology is still underdeveloped. In countries with low temperatures, these batteries last less than we would like. There is no guarantee that this technology will change by 2035. Peter Muller said.
– This is a game of national interests, and environmental slogans are often just a cover – also commented.
