FRANKFURT, ‌Dec 11 (Reuters) - ‍Plans to ‌impose an outright ⁠ban ‌on selling new cars with combustion ⁠engines in the European ​Union have been abandoned, ‌Germany's Bild ⁠newspaper cited a senior EU parliamentarian ​as saying on Thursday.

Instead, there will be more ​flexible ‍rules to ​achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of cars, Manfred Weber, ⁠president of the EPP, the ​largest party in European parliament, told Bild.
