Italy's Industry Minister Adolfo Urso has called for an alliance between Italy, France, and Germany to influence and moderate the pace of European Union laws on reducing car and truck emissions.

Urso emphasized the need for a pragmatic and non-ideological approach to climate change laws and mentioned two draft EU laws, the Euro 7 emission rules and the proposal to cut truck and bus emissions, which Italy intends to stall until their demands for moderation are met.

Furthermore, Urso expressed concerns about the EU's dependence on China for green technologies and raw materials and called for a broader revision of the ecological transition in 2026.
