European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen attended a closed cabinet meeting in Germany on Sunday.
It came just days after a decision on phasing out combustion engines in Europe was postponed because of German demands.
Von der Leyen said the EU was engaged in “constructive dialogue” with Germany about the controversial plan to ban the production of the internal combustion engines in vehicles by 2035.
“We need to focus on the fact that in the future we’ll maintain our position as a world leader in clean energy. For which it is necessary to improve the competitiveness and legal framework conditions of the sector,” she said.
