FDP now agrees to emission limits for trucks. FDP had previously surprisingly withdrawn its consent to the regulation at EU level.
Observers in Brussels had expected that the federal government would abstain from the vote and thus possibly overturn the entire regulation. Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) has invited people to make a statement at 3 p.m. He wants to give details of the agreement. The FDP is being heavily criticized for this by its partners in the traffic light coalition and even by the CDU and CSU.
