French President Emmanuel Macron said that France is expected to reach an agreement with Germany soon to protect the European automobile industry, and this consensus is expected to promote relevant negotiations at the EU level. The EU is currently formulating a package of measures to promote local production and clarify specific plans to phase out the sale of fuel vehicles. However, as the two major automobile manufacturers in the European Union, France and Germany disagree on how to advance relevant policies, which has made new regulations to support car companies such as Volkswagen and Renault progress slowly. “We are currently finalizing an agreement with our German partners to enable Europe to move forward and better protect our industry,” Macron told reporters at the Paris Motor Show on Monday. He said the agreement was “about to be reached.” The core of the dispute between the two sides is that Germany has long demanded that the EU provide more flexibility in limiting carbon dioxide emissions in 2035, so that the automotive industry has more room to achieve related goals. The overall policy plan is aimed at protecting employment in the automotive industry. Macron also invited automotive industry executives to dinner on Sunday night, including business people from Germany.
