Charging stations: little progress in AF • Table.Briefings

The development and expansion of a European charging infrastructure is considered one of the EU’s most important projects for the future in order to decarbonize transport by road, water and air. But the trilogue on the AFIR Fit for 55 dossier is stalling badly.

„Sunny weather outside, gloomy mood inside,“ tweeted Ismail Ertug (S&D) on Tuesday after the trilogue on the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). The legislative proposal is one of the few remaining dossiers in the Fit for 55 package and is intended to ensure that the framework conditions for low-emission transport are created across Europe. But negotiations are proceeding slowly. Parliamentary rapporteur Ertug accuses the Swedish Council presidency of delaying the process and failing to get its way with the member states.
