BERLIN -A letter from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen regarding rules on the planned phase-out of combustion-engine cars will be sent on Friday, a German government spokesperson said.
"Yes, it is indeed the case that this letter will be sent today," he said during a regular press conference.
Merz earlier said he would send a letter to the EU Commission urging it to keep technological options open for the auto industry beyond the bloc's planned 2035 phase-out of new combustion-engine cars.
