Italian Government: Broad Convergence on Italian Non-Paper on Automotive Sector
Rome, November 28, 2024 – The Italian Minister of Economic Development, Adolfo Urso, announced today a broad convergence among European Union (EU) countries on the non-paper proposed by Italy on the future of the automotive sector.
The non-paper, presented by Italy to EU partners in September 2024, outlined a series of proposals aimed at supporting the competitiveness of the European automotive industry and ensuring a smooth transition to zero-emission vehicles.
According to Minister Urso, the non-paper has received positive feedback from most EU member states, indicating a shared understanding of the challenges facing the sector and the need for a coordinated approach.
“There is a broad consensus on the principles outlined in our non-paper,” said Urso. “We believe that by working together, we can create a competitive and sustainable automotive industry in Europe.”
The Italian non-paper proposes a number of measures, including:
- Support for research and development of zero-emission technologies
- Investments in infrastructure for charging and refueling stations
- Targeted support for companies and workers transitioning to new technologies
- Establishment of a European Automotive Council to coordinate policy and investment
The EU’s Commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton, welcomed the Italian initiative and expressed his support for the principles outlined in the non-paper.
“The automotive sector is crucial for Europe’s economy and competitiveness,” said Breton. “We need to work together to ensure a smooth transition to zero-emission vehicles and maintain a strong European automotive industry.”
The Italian non-paper is part of a broader EU effort to address the challenges facing the automotive sector. The European Commission is currently working on a legislative proposal for a new Euro 7 emissions standard for light-duty vehicles, which is expected to be published in 2025.
The adoption of the Italian non-paper by the EU would provide a clear framework for policy and investment in the automotive sector, helping to ensure a competitive and sustainable industry in Europe.
