Shift for carmakers: the European Parliament approves more flexibility in emissions rules
MEPs on Monday approved a proposal that will give carmakers more flexibility to meet emissions targets in 2025. The changes concern the so-called "merit system" - a mechanism that gives manufacturers "credits" for producing low-emission cars.
Parliament has supported the European Commission's proposal, which allows the calculation method of this system to be adjusted to better reflect market realities and technological changes in the automotive industry. MEPs said this was a way of avoiding excessive pressure on manufacturers during the transition period without jeopardising the achievability of the emissions targets.
These adjustments will allow carmakers to temporarily "breathe a sigh of relief" - for example, if production of low-emission models runs up against technological or supply constraints. However, Parliament stresses that the changes are purely temporary and are not intended to undermine ambitions to combat climate change.
