For friends like 🇪🇺🇺🇸 competition & cooperation can be two faces of the same coin.

We’re working together on strengthening our clean energy industrial bases, from standards to raw materials.

In the global context we have a common interest in preserving our industrial leadership

We need to focus on:

• Adjusting our State Aid rules

• Further 🇪🇺 funding for the transition, with a boosted #REPowerEU and a Sovereignity Fund

• Working with the US to address the most concerning aspects of the IRA

We welcome fair competition.

It can push both our industries to excel, innovate and transform faster.

But it has to respect the level playing field.

It is critical that the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 tech competition is a race to the top for our industries on both sides of the Atlantic.

The EU is in a strong position to compete on global markets.

And #NextGenerationEU accelerates the #EUGreenDeal

But to keep up in the clean tech race, we need to do our homework in Europe and rebalance the playing field where the IRA and others create distortions.

With the #EUGreenDeal and the #InflationReductionAct, the EU and the US are modernising their economies and addressing climate change, the biggest challenge of our time.

Yet the IRA is also raising concerns in Europe ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1ynJOamWmawKR

Fruitful exchange with @andrejplenkovic ahead of #EUCO

We discussed further integration of the Western Balkans, Croatia joining the Eurozone and Schengen.

We also touched on energy and the need to strengthen our 🇪🇺 competitiveness in a more challenging global environment.

Good meeting with @kmitsotakis in preparation of the next #EUCO summit.

We need to improve our toolbox to support vulnerable households and businesses dealing with high energy prices.

The EU agreement on an oil price cap, coordinated with G7 and others, will reduce Russia’s revenues significantly.

It will help us stabilise global energy prices, benefitting emerging economies around the world.

👇 How did it all start?

A real pleasure to meet #Canada Deputy PM @cafreeland.

🇪🇺🇨🇦 EU-Canada relations are in a strong place. We are close allies in support of #Ukraine.

And this year we celebrate the 5th anniversary of our #CETA trade deal, which is delivering huge benefits for both sides.
