The European Parliament voted against further tightening regulations on carbon emissions from gasoline engines, dealing a setback to the EU's green agenda. However, the parliament also agreed for the first time to regulate plastic particles produced by car tires and brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European Parliament believes that continuing to strengthen automobile engine emission standards will cause automakers to invest more money in developing more efficient fuel engines rather than investing in the development of electric vehicles, which is contrary to the goal of moving towards net zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexandr Vondra, a member of the European Parliament who actively promoted the vote, told the Financial Times that stricter regulations would have a devastating impact, making it impossible for many European consumers to buy cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the emission limits for plastic microparticles, which mainly come from car tires and brakes, will also apply to electric vehicles. The European Parliament said it will work towards the goal of further reducing plastic microparticle emissions by 27% by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green groups strongly condemned the vote, emphasizing that the European Parliament's vote and consensus barely contribute to any progress in environmental protection. MEPs will continue negotiations with member state governments to reach consensus on the final legislation. It is expected that national governments will adopt a weaker stance on internal combustion engine vehicle regulations than the European Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
