These exchanges form part of the Commission\u2019s ongoing commitment to transparent and cooperative engagement throughout the legislative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Automotive Package is built on a clear objective: ensuring that Europe delivers on its climate-neutrality commitments while strengthening its industrial base and strategic autonomy. The two proposals were developed based on input from Member States, experts, industry stakeholders and civil society, and informed by rigorous impact assessments which are available to all [see <em>Resources<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the supply side, DG CLIMA demonstrated on 13 March how the revision of the CO2 standard proposal confirms the trajectory towards zero-emissions mobility by 2035 and remains aligned with the European Climate Law. Manufacturers will indeed continue to deliver a 90% reduction in emissions, with any flexibility subject to strict and measurable compensation mechanisms ensuring that every tonne of CO2 remains accounted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her speech addressed to the European Parliament, Commissioner Pomili Pomili notably stated: \u201cClimate change is a transboundary challenge, and only coordinated action at the Union level can deliver effective results, in full respect of subsidiarity and proportionality. Our task as policymakers is not only to set targets for 2050. It is to bring everyone, including the backbone of our industrial base, with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the demand side, our colleagues from DG MOVE explained how the Corporate Fleets initiative contributes to accelerating market uptake of zero-emission vehicles. By leveraging the higher turnover in corporate vehicles to increase the second-hand market supply, the regulation will support a fairer and smoother transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past few weeks, members of the Commission have made sure to offer legal and technical support to interested parties \u2013 answering their concerns with concrete and data-based analyses \u2013 and will continue to do so in the coming weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commission looks forward to today\u2019s discussions and remains committed to continued collaboration with Council and Parliament to finalise this landmark legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Related Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To see the full ENVI Committee session held on 13 March, please refer to the link below:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1LoUjInVs8_kD0AmGEx1qx62eb2_DiHZk\/view?usp=sharing\">https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1LoUjInVs8_kD0AmGEx1qx62eb2_DiHZk\/view?usp=sharing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speech from Commissioner Pomili Pomili can be found at 23:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Related Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case you missed it, in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.sim-ex.eu\/commsclima\/resources\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"47\">Resources<\/a><\/em> are useful documents regarding our Proposal for the revision of CO2 standards, including a Fact Sheet: <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/fs_25_3055\">https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/fs_25_3055<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>As a reminder, you can also find more extensive information regarding the automotive package and its CO2 proposal here: <a href=\"https:\/\/transport.ec.europa.eu\/transport-themes\/action-plan-future-automotive-sector\/automotive-package_en\">https:\/\/transport.ec.europa.eu\/transport-themes\/action-plan-future-automotive-sector\/automotive-package_en<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cl\u00e9a Leclerc-Dupont : clea.leclercdupont@sciencespo.fr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Communication Officer of the Directorate General for Climate Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: the full recording of the ENVI Committee session of 13 March is available below.
