Five major German business associations have written a letter to Robert Habeck in which they ask the Federal Minister of Economics to „intervene at the highest level of the EU Commission at short notice“. They oppose new regulations on the carbon footprint of electric car batteries. Manuel Berkel, Leonie Düngefeld and Markus Grabitz write that this marks the start of a power struggle over which EU countries will benefit economically from the Green Deal in the coming years.
