Regarding your claims about what "Germany" was up to, the article I posted elsewhere in the thread suggest it was the FDP overuling the Green's agenda.
> They're particularly worried about Berlin's blockade of an EU ban on sales of polluting cars and vehicles from 2035, which the German government previously agreed to, and was specifically promoted by the Greens. However, at the very last stage of the legislative approval process, the FDP of Porsche-driving Finance Minister Christian Lindner threw a spanner at the works, demanding that the European Commission create a loophole for cars operating with synthetic fuels, or e-fuels.

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't go into, nor felt need to go into the finer political drivers, beyond, the overall representation of effect that was Germany, who sign and agreed things with the EU as a country, hence said Germany.
