Euro 7: Wissing supports blockade by eight member states

German Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) has backed eight countries that reject the Commission’s proposal for a new Euro 7 emissions standard for cars and trucks. He made this clear on Thursday in Luxembourg at the meeting of EU transport ministers. The introduction dates of the new standard (July 2025 for cars, July 2027 for trucks) are unrealistic, he said. For this reason, Wissing said, he believes that the Euro 7 proposal is unacceptable as it stands and that he is closely aligned with „a whole series of critical member states“.
