A: Hey Hana! Did you hear anything about the EU’s plans for cars?

B: No, tell me! What's going on?

A: Apparently, they’re not going to ban gas and diesel cars in 2035 anymore!

B: Really?! Wow! That's a big change! Why?

A: The car companies in Europe were really pushing back. They’re worried about Chinese electric cars being too cheap.

B: Oh, I see! It's tough to compete!

A: Exactly! So, they can still sell cars with engines, but they have to reduce emissions a lot - like 90% from 2021.

B: 90%! That’s a lot! Are they using something else to help?

A: Yeah, they're talking about using biofuels too.

B: Interesting! Germany and other countries wanted this change, right?

A: Yep! They said it’s about keeping the European car industry strong.

B: Makes sense. It's about balancing the environment and jobs, I guess.

A: Totally! One of the leaders in the EU said it's to help Europe be a leader again in industry.

B: Okay, so everyone still needs to approve it?

A: Right! The countries and the Parliament still have to say yes.
