"Now, from our side, the number one priority is to revive the market, enabling production to return to normal levels and preserving jobs, and we aim to do this in a way that fully supports the Principles of Europe's Green Deal. Just last month, President Ursula von de Lyon unveiled the European Commission's 2030 climate target plan during her first State of the Union address. Now, under this new plan, the EU should Aim for a 55% CO2 reduction compared to the 1990 levels and that is up from the previous -40% target so let Me first reiterate that the Automobile industry supports the EU's long term goal of achieving Climate Neutrality by 2050."

"We're fully supporting the European Green Deal launched by the New Commission, and we want to do our part to make Europe the first climate neutral continent. That is why we have launched a ten point plan to implement this shared effort and contribute by reducing CO2 emissions from our sector in the most cost effective way. Carbon neutrality is possible, and together with a holistic approach, we can reach it by 2050."
