Brussels authorizes Zalando to take full control of German rival About You
The European Commission on Wednesday gave the German online fashion retailer Zalando the green light to take full control of its German rival About You after concluding that the deal will not have a negative impact on the European economic area. The retailer announced in December last year its intention to acquire 100% of About You at a price of €6.50 per share, representing a valuation of just over €1.1 billion. After its review, the EU executive concluded that the transaction does not raise competition concerns due to its "limited impact" on the markets in which the two companies involved operate, given that there are "a large number of alternatives" available to customers in the sector. The file, which was notified to Brussels last May, has been examined under the simplified procedure applied to less problematic cases. Copyright © 2025 Europa Press.

Tesla sales fell sharply in the last three months—is Musk to blame?
Sales of Tesla electric cars fell sharply in the last three months as boycotts over Elon Musk's political views continue to keep buyers away, a significant development given expectations that anger with the company's billionaire CEO would have faded by now. The company reported a 13% plunge in sales on Wednesday, in another sign that Musk's previous support of US President Donald Trump and far-right politicians in Europe has had a deep and enduring hit to Tesla's brand appeal. In response to the company report, the EV maker's shares rose modestly in early trading, as the figures were better than expected. However, sales fell to 384,122 in April through June, down from 443,956 in the same period last year. During this period, Musk formally left the Trump administration as a cost-cutting czar and hopes rose that sales would recover. Sales of the Models 3 and Y totalled 373,728, which was above the estimate of 356,000 from Wall Street analysts. The new figures also suggest that Tesla could disappoint when it announces second-quarter earnings later this month. In the first three months of this year, net income fell 71%. So far this year, Tesla's share price has lost 24.2%. Tesla is also facing stiff competition from other electric carmakers, especially in Europe, where China's BYD has taken a bite out of its market share. Musk has acknowledged that his work as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his embrace of European far-right candidates have hurt the company. But he attributed much of the sales plunge to customers holding off while they waited for new versions of Tesla's best-selling Model Y, and recently predicted a major turnaround in sales. The EV carmaker could face the consequences of its CEO and the US President clashing over Trump's tax bill, turning the former allies against each other. Just a day before the figures were published, Tesla shares lost around 7% as Trump suggested in a social media post that if Musk lost his government contracts, he 'would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.' Meanwhile, US tax credits that were partially fuelling EV sales could soon be over. Senate Republicans passed a multitrillion-dollar tax-and-spending package, Trump's "big beautiful bill", which axes the $7,500 (€6,375) EV tax credit after September 2025. Tesla's latest figures come as the company is focusing less on coming out with new models and more on robots, self-driving technology and robotaxis ferrying passengers around without anyone behind the wheel. Tesla is currently trialling robotaxis in Austin, Texas, which, so far, has gone smoothly for the most part. It has drawn the scrutiny of federal car safety regulators due of a few mishaps, including one case in which a Tesla taxi was shown, on a widely shared video, driving onto the wrong side of the road.

EU open to carbon offsets on path to 2040 emissions target
The European Commission formally proposed a 90% carbon emissions reduction target by 2040 in an amendment to its Climate Law on Wednesday, as a pathway to achieving zero emissions by 2050. The 90% emissions reduction target allowed for the controversial use of international carbon credits to account towards the goal, a mechanism that allows countries or companies to buy emission reduction credits from projects outside the EU. While these credits can theoretically represent genuine climate action, critics argue they often act as a license to pollute, letting wealthier nations avoid making domestic changes. The Commission opened the door to outsourcing a portion of Europe's climate effort by effectively allowing the capture or removal of carbon to happen beyond EU borders. "We're broadening the solution space," said Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra. 'Part of the work, part of the emission reductions, can be done outside the European Union.' The Dutch Commissioner pointed out that the vast majority of reductions, including carbon capture, will still take place within Europe. Concerns and limits While the original climate law stipulated that both 2030 and 2050 targets must be met through domestic efforts, the Commission now suggests that a limited share of international credits could count toward the 2040 goal. The Commission's own Scientific Advisory Board has previously expressed scepticism about the use of international offsets—not opposing them entirely, but warning they should supplement, not replace, domestic action. To address these concerns, the Commission proposes capping international credits at 3% of the 2040 target. This figure is rooted in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, a clause largely shaped by the EU, and aligns with Germany's stance on the issue. A senior Commission official described the cap as a way to balance European investment priorities with global climate cooperation. 'We believe it's important not to go for a very high proportion of these credits,' the official said. 'This sends the right signal to both European actors and international partners: we're open to using such credits, but only if they are well-executed and uphold high integrity.' Additionally, these credits will only be permitted during the second half of the next decade (2036–2040), giving time to build more robust partnerships and ensure the availability of high-quality credits. The Commission official also specified that any international credits must align with the Paris Agreement, demonstrate environmental effectiveness, and be supported by rigorous monitoring, reporting, and verification systems, similar to the EU's own emissions trading scheme. Domestic flexibilities expanded Beyond offsets, the amendment introduces more sectoral and domestic flexibilities to help achieve the 2040 target in a cost-effective and socially just way. This includes incorporating permanent carbon removals into the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and allowing cross-sectoral compensation. For example, if a country exceeds emissions reductions in the transport or waste sectors, it could use that overperformance to compensate for underperformance in the land use sector. While such flexibilities already exist under the current Fit for 55 framework, the new approach seeks to expand them. Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera explained she often hears from member states performing strongly overall, especially in sectors like housing or transports, but struggling in others like aviation. 'Shouldn't we, without lowering the bar, allow them to overachieve in some areas while being more flexible in others?' According to Ribera, these changes reflect a pragmatic evolution of the EU's climate strategy, aiming to preserve ambition while accounting for diverse national circumstances.
