The European Commission today unveiled its highly anticipated Clean Industrial Deal, an overarching framework designed to maintain European manufacturing competitiveness amid aggressive global green subsidy competition.
Speaking in Brussels, Commission officials highlighted three primary pillars: rapid permitting for zero-emission energy infrastructure, targeted capital relief for energy-intensive sectors, and common European procurement for rare earth elements essential for battery manufacturing.
European Union member states are expected to begin technical deliberations on the legislative draft next month ahead of the upcoming European Council summit in Brussels.
