The EU is approaching an agreement on the attenuation of internal combustion engines

The European Union is gradually finalizing agreements aimed at banning the sale of internal combustion cars after 2035. The key was the settlement of the dispute with Germany at the end of last week, which demanded and received a broader exemption for so-called synthetic fuels.

What changed after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank:
