Dutch Parliament Presses Government to Reject EU's 2035 Gas Car Ban
The parliamentary resolution, brought forward by PVV legislator Hidde Heutink, secured approval Wednesday with backing from multiple political factions including VVD, 50PLUS, DENK, SGP, JA21, BBB, and FVD, according to Dutch media.
Heutink noted that the ban "will damage the Dutch and European economies."
Meanwhile, caretaker Infrastructure and Water Management Minister Robert Tieman stated the Cabinet recognizes the automotive sector's current difficulties and characterized the expanding electric vehicle market as a "positive development."
He added that reversing the transition to electric cars would cause greater damage, as it would "undermine investment certainty and the reliability the government owes to businesses."
The parliamentary action signals mounting resistance within EU member states to Brussels' climate-driven automotive regulations, which mandate a complete phase-out of gasoline and diesel passenger vehicles within the next decade.
