We’re delivering. These measures further strengthen stability and affordability within ETS2 and set us on a more predictable path toward a low-carbon future. We’re setting the right conditions to keep prices in check and intervene swiftly if they go too high.

We reached an agreement at @cop30nobrasil.bsky.social It is not perfect, but it is a huge step in the right direction. The EU stood united, fighting for ambition on climate action. ➡️ ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Under no circumstances are we going to accept this text. Nothing that is remotely close to what is now on the table. Yes, we do have a few more hours left. You can count on us to do our absolute utmost to deliver #COP30 See my remarks this morning 👉🏻 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Today was an important day of exchanges with business on various topics. I started the day with the VAT in the digital age and how we can modernise systems in place. It’s good to hear first hand from the industry how it goes in practice.

Good conversation with @hodgson.bsky.social at @euractiv.com this morning. We touched upon many climate topics, from COP30 to 2040. I reiterated the difficult geopolitical times we are living in and that, more than ever, we need climate action, competitiveness and independence.

We consistently stress that Europe is doing more than its fair share in international climate finance. We also always make the point that, no matter the amount of public finance, we need more private money. Yesterday’s publication underlines both points.
