EU Decoded

Europe's automotive industry is facing a growing crisis that could lead to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in the sector.  

The EPP Group wants to ensure that driving remains affordable for everyone, not just for those who can afford expensive electric cars. To achieve this, Europe must be driven by economic realism and remain technologically neutral. If we do not, driving will become too costly for many Europeans, and we will lose countless jobs in the automotive industry to competitors like China.

Despite a tough election campaign, the Group came out on top in the June European elections, which helped secure another term for both Parliament President Roberta Metsola and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
