EU countries delay vote on landmark law to end sales of CO2-emitting cars

Germany questions support for rules that would effectively make it impossible to sell combustion engine cars from 2035

European Union countries have delayed a planned vote next week on the bloc's landmark law to end sales of new CO₂-emitting cars in 2035 after Germany questioned its support for the rules.

No new date for the vote was given and a spokesperson for Sweden, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, said EU countries' ambassadors would return to the topic in due time".
