Germany and France "which have always moved Europe together for decades" must find joint solutions between politics and business, said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume at a prior event of the consortium ahead of the Paris fair that starts this Monday. Our plan For Europe (which they presented at the beginning of the month) does not detail what we lack but rather what we can build and improve. This means, among other things and according to Blume, that the criterion Made in Europe, the definition of which is being debated for the Industrial Acceleration Act (IAA), "should reward true value creation, not only the origin of components but also design, development, engineering, production, and employment." Industry and politics must go hand in hand. #Volkswagen #CochesEléctricos #UniónEuropea (translated)

He also pointed out that they had engine problems throughout the day and lost a lot of time when exiting the corners; he added that they needed to check the turbo and assess whether to change it, which would make them start from the back of the grid. The driver stated that he had little hope for the race the following day and that it would need to be very chaotic. Regarding the traffic, he said they managed it well on the last attempt and that it hadn't been a problem, as that was the attempt that counted. #FernandoAlonso #F1 #motorsport (translated)

We must defend our industries and restore fair competition conditions that have been distorted by excess global productive capacity," Sefcovic said at a press conference. We are talking about reducing by several million the number of cars exported from China to the EU over four years, which seems to me to be a quite significant figure," Sefcovic emphasizes in any case. #ComercioEUChina #CochesHíbridos #GuerraComercial (translated)
