Poland to sue EU over decision to ban fossil fuel cars by 2035
June 12, 2023 5:34 PMPoland is set to appeal against European Union rules seeking to end the sale of fossil fuel cars across the bloc from 2035.
The UN added that the sector’s emissions have more than doubled since 1970, with around 80 percent of the increase caused by road vehicles.At COP26, over 100 national governments, cities, states and businesses signed the Glasgow declaration on zero-emission cars and vans to end the sale of internal combustion engines by 2035 in leading markets, and by 2040 worldwide.
However, Moskwa said Poland does not agree with this ban and would take the matter to the European court of justice.“We don’t agree with this and other documents from the ‘Fit for 55’ package and we’re bringing this to the European Court of Justice. I hope other countries will join. We will file the motion in the coming days,” she said during a radio programme.
“There is no analysis of the social and economic impact, which is scandalous. Anyway, we are going to the Court of Justice in the near future with this decision.”
