from the Strasbourg correspondent<\/em> – “I hope that this proposal<\/a> will be strongly revised by the Parliament<\/strong>,” so as to “throw away the ideology” that cloaks the EU’s clean car policy. Isabella Tovaglieri<\/strong> (Lega\/PfE) does not like the loosening of rules for four-wheelers in the name of sustainable transition. The member of the Industry Commission<\/a> of the European Parliament does not find the rethinking of the stop to traditional engines from 2035 satisfactory, and sees no other way but to change even more, because, she explains in an interview with Eunews<\/em> on the sidelines of the plenary session, “I think there is still a fundamental denial of reality.”<\/p>\n

\n

Eunews<\/strong><\/em>: How do you interpret this car review proposal by the Commission?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isabella Tovaglieri: “While on the one hand, there was a willingness to revise the regulation, on the other hand, the proposed revision is water
\noff a duck\u2019s back; it is insufficient to solve the automotive crisis.\u00a0It is a nice way of saying that they are working to defend the sector, but the aim remains to electrify it.”<\/p>\n

\n

E<\/strong><\/em>: Isn’t the opening up to alternative fuels, and biofuels in particular, good news?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.T: “As long as emission cuts are set at 90 per cent, we are effectively boycotting biofuels.<\/p>\n

\n

E<\/strong><\/em>: So the problems are the sustainability targets? Is it that 90 per cent threshold?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.T: “A 90 per cent emissions reduction target actually means no biofuels, no hybrid, it means only electric cars. The criteria of exhaust pollution should be eliminated; otherwise, any car that is not electric is doomed to succumb.”<\/p>\n

\n

E<\/strong><\/em>: Can the electric car be done in Europe<\/strong>, or do we risk others doing it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.T: “I don’t see it as a risk; it is already a reality. Volkswagen makes its electric cars in China.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
