State premiers unaware they recommended to phase out conventional cars by 2030
German states鈥 resolution to recommend the phase-out of new combustion engine vehicles at EU level by 2030 was 鈥渙ne of the most brilliant political coups of recent years鈥, even if it was mainly symbolic, write Sven B枚ll and Horand Knaup in weekly magazine Der Spiegel. Many state premiers were totally unaware that the resolution, which was pushed by green politicians, included this target when they took a vote on it, according to the report. The resolution 鈥渟hows how easy it is for a group of determined specialist politicians to dupe the council of German federal state governments (Bundesrat),鈥 write B枚ll and Knaup.
