FRANKFURT, Dec 11 (Reuters) – Plans to impose an outright ban on selling new cars with combustion engines in the European Union have been abandoned, Germany’s Bild newspaper cited a senior EU parliamentarian as saying on Thursday.
Instead, there will be more flexible rules to achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of cars, Manfred Weber, president of the EPP, the largest party in European parliament, told Bild.
