Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently cautioned against inflexible green policies that could harm Europe's industrial base, focusing on the automotive sector. After a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, she emphasized the importance of a careful ecological transition that preserves economic and social stability. Meloni highlighted the drawbacks of Europe's current strategies, mentioning the need for biofuels and hydrogen as key components of the EU's green agenda. She criticized the overreliance on external supply chains for electric vehicles, identifying it as a strategic vulnerability for Europe. Meloni urged the European Commission to reassess aspects of the Green Deal, particularly emissions calculations throughout the vehicle production cycle. Legislative changes have relaxed emissions targets for automakers until 2027, allowing for more flexibility. The Prime Minister proposed joint efforts between Italy and Germany to enhance Europe's automotive industry's competitiveness.
