Brussels – Forza Italia MEP Massimiliano Salini has been re-elected as Vice-President of the European People’s Party (EPP) Group. “My re-election as Vice-President of the EPP Group in the European Parliament represents a renewed sense of responsibility for me. I would like to thank my colleagues for their trust, which spurs me on to an ever-greater commitment to serving citizens and our regions, so that the EPP may play a leading role in a stronger, more competitive Europe, founded on the values of freedom, responsibility, and solidarity,” commented Salini following his re-election.

“One of the priorities is the future of the European automotive industry, a strategic sector for the economy, employment, and innovation. In my role as rapporteur” on the revision of the European Regulation on CO₂ emissions from cars and vans, “I will continue to work towards a practical industrial policy capable of reconciling environmental objectives with technological neutrality and economic and social sustainability, while protecting businesses, workers, and production chains from global competition,” he concluded.
