France and Germany agree to ease EU car emissions rules in new deal

France and Germany have reached a deal to relax European Union car emissions standards to support a struggling automotive industry. Under the agreement, carmakers must reduce CO2 emissions by 90% by 2035, removing the requirement to offset the final 10% previously proposed by the Commission. The pact also links these 2035 engine rules to the status of vehicles as Made in Europe, which may include British-made cars. This agreement comes amid wider European Union debates regarding climate goals and funding.
