Opinion Number: CDR 1449/2023
Rapporteur: SCHULZE Sven
Commission: COTER
Status: Adopted
Date: 11/10/2023
 
The need for a just transition mechanism for the automotive regions has been highlighted by the CoR opinion on the Regulation on CO2 emission standards for cars and vans (phase-out of the traditionally powered internal combustion engine). This decision will trigger a profound industrial and societal transformation of the automotive industry and our mobility system which will require policy and budgetary responses.
The CoR's "Automotive Regions Alliance" has been assigned an advisory role in the progress reporting until 2026 (in the above-mentioned Regulation). The voice of the automotive regions and the CoR also needs to feed into the discussion on the next MFF and a possible JTF 2.0.

The CoR's "Automotive Regions Alliance" needs to be supported by political positions of the CoR in order to reach the objectives it has been assigned in the Regulation on CO2 emission standards for cars and vans, where it was identified as one of the key stakeholders for reporting on needs, challenges and funding gaps for a just transition of the automotive regions.
At the same time, the opinion should also feed into the discussion in the European Parliament, where the REGI Committee is preparing an own-initiative report on this topic.

The Union needs to respond to major transformations of our regions that result from the need for a green economic transition. This will affect regions and citizens, territorial and social cohesion. The automotive regions' transition becomes highly relevant for the European automotive industry to remain competitive. This is why the European Committee of the Regions has been facilitating the founding of the "Automotive Regions Alliance (ARA)". The ARA has been identified in Regulation (EU) 2023/851 on strengthening the CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles as a key partner for the European Commission in drafting the report on a transition towards a climate-neutral automotive industry. The CoR has been referred to explicitly in a legal text of the EU for the first time.
