MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement – E-000276/2025

Question for written answer  E-000276/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Erik Kaliňák (NI)

On 20 January 2025, the newly elected President of the United States signed several executive orders, including one directing the US Ambassador to the UN to immediately submit formal written notification of the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

As this is not a surprising step by President Trump, I would like to ask the Commission:

• 1.Has an impact analysis been carried out on this move by the US, in particular as regards its impact on the EU’s so-called green policy and its significance?
• 2.The logical response would be to rationalise and rebalance actions at EU level as well. Is the Commission prepared to reconsider the measures adopted under the Green Deal, particularly those which have a significant impact on the EU economy and the falling living standards of its citizens?
