The strategic dialog on the future of the automotive industry starts in January. Under the leadership of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, manufacturers, infrastructure operators, trade unions and associations are to draw up proposals. The Commission’s aim is to quickly propose and implement measures that the sector urgently needs. It is also planned to draw up recommendations for a holistic automotive strategy. The responsible commissioners, presumably Wopke Hoekstra (Climate) and Apostolos Tzitzikostas (Transport), will be involved in the dialog. It is not known how long the dialog will last.
