According to Bernhard Mattes, chairman of the VDA (Verband der deutschen Automobilindustrie), the proposal is "without any technical and economic reality" and is therefore not feasible.
The EP's Environment Committee proposed a 45% reduction in CO2 emissions for new vehicles by Monday 2030. This would be a further tightening compared to the European Commission's guidelines laid down in November 2017, which provided for a 30% reduction by 2030.
As an intermediate target, the EB has set a 15 percent reduction by 2025, while the EP's Environment Committee has 20 percent.
Conservative European politicians and professional representatives of the automotive industry consider the proposals of the European Commission and the European Parliament's Environment Committee as unrealistic. For example, Jens Gieseke, MEP of the German CDU (Christian Democratic Union), called the parliamentary committee's proposal a "political famine."
