Italy calls for an early review of EU's 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars.

Italy is urging the EU to conduct an early review of its 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars. Industry Minister Adolfo Urso suggests assessing progress next year, instead of the planned 2026 review.

Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin criticized the ban as "absurd."
