France and Germany soften 2035 EV target while adding European build rules.

: France and Germany have agreed on new EU car rules that trade stricter emissions bans for local manufacturing requirements.
The EU's 2035 target is now a 90% reduction in emissions instead of a total ban on petrol and diesel cars.
Official support will be restricted to cars built within the EU, with Britain included as part of the same trade area.
Vehicles assembled in Europe will still qualify as "Made in EU" even if they use Chinese-made batteries.
