Question for written answer E-000625/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Erik Kaliňák (NI)
On 8 February 2025, an interview with former Commission Vice-President Věra Jourová was published in the Czech media.[1] Among other things, it was noted that the Commission had not carried out impact studies on the measures it is promoting under the Green Deal.
These are worrying allegations, suggesting that the Commission flagrantly breached its obligations under EU law, while the measures it is taking proving extremely damaging to EU competitiveness and destructive to EU industry.
Following the media interview with Věra Jourová, I would like to ask the Commission:
- 1.Can the Commission confirm the veracity of Věra Jourová’s claims about the failure to carry out impact studies on Green Deal action plans, or are these claims false?
- 2.If the Commission seeks to distance itself from Věra Jourová’s claims, can it confirm that proper impact studies were indeed carried out for all the measures adopted under the Green Deal? If so, surely the Commission intends to take legal action against Věra Jourová?
- 3.If the Commission confirms that Věra Jourová’s allegations are true, whom will the Commission hold to account, and how, for the failure to carry out impact studies and, in particular, for the damage that the measures taken under the Green Deal have caused to EU industry?
