Although the submitted motion of the PvdA adopted rejects minister Henk Kamp of Economic Affairs is the case. Camp appoints three points.

It seemed the Labour party, so beautiful: in 2025, only, and only emission free cars. How the world is structured, it doesn’t matter. Only. Electric. Cars. And as soon as possible. The motion of the PvdA got support but was soon hard as a potter. Today, minister Henk Kamp it a step further in a letter (PDF) addressed to the Second Room. In three points the minister on why the plan is not going to work.

1. First, it is in the Energieakkoord the ambition agreed that in 2035 all new cars sold in the state be zero emissions to drive. The aim as laid down in the motion means that the ambition of the Energieakkoord 10 years forward would be achieved and, moreover, considerably strengthened. The ambition would then be no relation more in all types of electric vehicles that have zero emissions and can drive (including that with an internal combustion engine) but only on fully electric vehicles and hydrogen cars.

2. Second, is implementation of the motion legally problematic. As indicated above, permitted vehicles in any EU member state type-approval has been obtained, in the Netherlands to be sold. The rules for the internal market, the prohibition of the sale and the parallel imports of vehicles with a conventional combustion engine.

3. Third is the feasibility of the aim, as recorded in the motion attention. At this moment, there are more than 90,000 electric cars in the Netherlands, of which 10% is fully electric. The zero cars are a limited part of the total number of electric cars.

Thus, the response of Camp to the original plan of the party. In place of the internal combustion engine, it seems that, in this case, the motion of the party of the roses to phase out.
