The 27 member states of the EU reached a common agreement on the draft legislation, that is, by 2030, the EU's greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by at least 55%year -on -year instead of the previously agreed 40%.

Frans Timmer is the vice chairman of the European Commission and is responsible for the "European Green Agreement". After his meeting at Luxembourg's environmental minister, "This is a long and beautiful day. The decision of the EU Green Transformation Plan (FITFOR 55) is a big step towards the implementation of the European Green Agreement. "

Last year, the agreement on the "Five Laws" proposed by the EU administrative department made a pavement of the final negotiations with the European Parliament. Now, only after the European Parliament and the EU governments eliminate the differences in various details, can the final approval of the legislative plan be realized.

The consensus reached at this meeting will promote these proposals to become formal EU laws.

According to this agreement, as of 2035, the European Union will implement a decision of 100%carbon dioxide discharge targets for new cars such as trucks, which will effectively prohibit new cars with gasoline or diesel as the power in the European Union 27.

By 2050, the EU hopes to greatly reduce the exhaust emissions of the transportation industry and promote the use of electric vehicles. However, an EU external auditor's report last year showed that EU countries lacked appropriate charging stations. The transportation industry accounts for about 25%of the EU greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to the milestone car agreement, the plan also includes the reform of the EU's carbon market and the establishment of a social climate fund to help disadvantaged families cope with the clean energy transformation of the plan.
