Italy seeks alliance with France and Germany to tame EU car emissions laws

Italy wants to team up with France and Germany to “influence” and slow the pace of European Union laws on cutting car and truck emissions, Industry Minister Adolfo Urso said on Saturday. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government has already come out strongly against the bloc’s decision to outlaw the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, with one minister calling the forced switch to electric “suicide” and a “gift” to Chinese industry. Speaking to the TGcom news channel, Urso called on the EU’s executive arm, the European Commission, to take a “pragmatic, concrete, non-ideological” approach to climate change laws, and said he wanted to build “an alliance” with Paris and Berlin to soften their cost for industry and consumers.
