Czechia has joined forces with eight other European Union states to oppose the introduction of Euro 7, a proposed EU regulation on motor vehicle emissions. Czech Minister of Transport, Martin Kupka, has called the standard flawed. The coalition, which includes Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, has accused the European Commission of imposing obligations on carmakers that exceed previously agreed emissions limits. The automotive industry is a major contributor to the Czech economy. The coalition is now calling for the European Commission to reconsider its proposal.
