Legal opinion: End of combustion engine in Germany compatible with EU law
Initiating the end of combustion engine technology in Germany with corresponding legislation would be in accordance with European law, environmental organisation Greenpeace says in a press release. According to a legal opinion commissioned by the organisation, Germany鈥檚 ambitious climate protection goals require the government to introduce 鈥渞egulation aimed at strengthening environmental protection鈥�, which included a national phase-out of combustion engines to foster the transport sector鈥檚 emissions reduction. Greenpeace says Germany should ban new registrations of cars with combustion engines by 2025 to guarantee a fulfilment of the Paris Climate Agreement鈥檚 goals.
