Question for written answer E-000279/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Maciej Wąsik (ECR)
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has identified the implementation of the Clean Industrial Deal as one of the main priorities of her second term[1]. To this end, she has also set up special working groups and announced the rapid implementation of the Net-Zero Industry Act[2]. According to information from the Commission, the initiative is being developed on the basis of Mario Draghi’s report, which delineates huge commitments for the energy transformation of the EU economy[3].
EU citizens are already facing dramatically rising prices for electricity and heating, which also have a knock-on effect on the prices of everyday essentials. The level of prosperity in the EU is already falling drastically as a result of the implementation of the Green Deal, and individual sectors of the economy, such as the automotive industry and agriculture, are in steep decline.
In the light of this:
- 1.What key objectives has the Commission set to be achieved, including an indicative timetable for actions, through the drafting and implementation of the Clean Industrial Deal?
- 2.What burdens are planned to be imposed on individual industries in particular?
- 3.Has the Commission carried out an analysis of the impact of the implementation of the Clean Industrial Deal on the competitiveness of the EU economy and on the lowering of EU citizens’ living standards?
