Sweden wants EU to switch to emission-free cars by 2030
Sweden's environment minister urged the European Union
Stockholm - AFP
Sweden's environment minister on Saturday urged the European Union to ban petrol and diesel-powered vehicles from 2030.
Speaking to the Aftonbladet daily, Isabella Lovin of the Green Party hailed a non-binding resolution adopted by Germany's upper house of parliament to switch to emission-free cars by 2030.
"It's a really interesting proposition ... In order to achieve it, we will need to implement an EU-wide ban along the same lines," she said.
"As the environment minister, I do not see any other way than to relegate vehicles powered by fossil fuels to the dustbin of history."
The Swedish government aims to produce all of its power from renewable energy sources by 2040.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
