(ANSA-AFP) - STRASBOURG, FEB 14 - The European Parliament
voted on Tuesday to approve a ban on new sales of
carbon-emitting petrol and diesel cars by 2035, clearing the
final legislative hurdle. EU member states have already approved
the legislation and will now formally nod it into law, despite
opposition from conservative MEPs, the parliament's biggest
group. The law passed the Strasbourg assembly by 340 votes to
279, with 21 abstentions. (ANSA-AFP).
