FDP takes a stand: Germany blocks EU climate targets for trucks and buses. At the last minute, the FDP apparently expressed concerns: Because of the unclear German position, the vote on a fully negotiated EU regulation on CO2 savings targets was postponed.

It is uncertain whether the votes required for the project will come about without Germany. Last year, the EU agreed on a fleet target of 100 percent less CO₂ by 2035. The FDP has now surprisingly lodged a veto and wants to prevent a German yes to the project.
