Poland will try to overturn the EU’s combustion engine phaseout and other climate laws with an appeal before the bloc’s top court, Climate Minister Anna Moskwa said.
In spring, the bloc passed a law effectively banning the sale of new cars powered by fossil fuels from 2035, despite opposition from Warsaw.
Moskwa told Poland’s Radio Zet on Monday that the country would take the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
“The solution of banning combustion cars in 2035 is harmful to all European economies ... I believe that if today we are making a decision for 2035, then today it is necessary to look at its consequences for the following years,” she said.
“There is no analysis of the social and economic impact, which is scandalous,” Moskwa added. “Anyway, we are going to the Court of Justice in the near future with this decision.”
