Euro 7 dossier goes to ECR

Czech MEP Alexandr Vondra (ECR) will be the European Parliament’s rapporteur for Euro 7. Vondra will thus be the lead negotiator in the responsible Environment Committee ENVI. Shadow rapporteur for the EPP will be Jens Gieseke (CDU). In early November, the Commission presented its proposal for the next stage of pollutant regulation for passenger cars, vans, buses, light and heavy commercial vehicles. On the Council side, the first trilogues will be held under the Swedish Council Presidency. The dates have not yet been set. The introduction deadlines, limit values for vans and commercial vehicles are likely to be particularly disputed between the co-legislators. The test conditions for passenger cars will also be a topic for discussion. mgr
