Germany's Finance Minister Doesn't Support EU Ban On Combustion Cars By 2035 | Carscoops

German’s finance minister has revealed that the country will not follow the European Union’s plans to issue a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035.

The European Commission is mandating a ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars and vans by 2035 and for a time, it appeared that Germany would follow suit. In fact, the legislation is managed by the Greens in Germany who operate the environment ministry and in March, the three-party government had agreed to support the Commission’s draft proposal on the 2035 ban.

However, while speaking at a conference of Germany’s industrial lobby, the BDI, German finance minister Christian Linder said the proposal was “wrong” and that the German government “will not agree to this European legislation this week.”
