According to the Repubblica report, in addition to the automotive sector, the leaders will also call for a push to invest in innovation, defense and space; as well as for an effort to contain energy prices.
Other aspects of the collective push are still being negotiated. France would like to request incentives for electric vehicles, with Germany more cautious on this point, Repubblica said.
Tensions are also yet to be resolved on whether to include a reference to the Mercosur trade agreement, according to the report.
