Reuters reports that the European Commission is considering publishing a softer version of the "ban" on internal combustion engines from 2035 as early as 16 December. The new regulation is to be part of a package of support for the car industry, which is calling for greater flexibility and recognition of CO₂-neutral fuels or plug-in hybrids. The move has been backed by several countries, including Slovakia. The review is to assess whether a ban is feasible in light of technological advances, the market and the impact on the economy. reuters.com 🇬🇧
