Green Deal and Competition

Green Deal and Competition

The European Commission has launched a call for contributions on how competition policy can further support the objectives of the European Green Deal.  The European Green Deal aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy.

Although competition policy is not centre stage in the fight against climate change, it can complement that agenda. 

The aim of the consultation is to gather ideas and proposals from interested stakeholders, on how EU state aid, antitrust and merger control rules could better contribute to protecting the environment and the sustainability objectives of the Green Deal.

The consultation will be open until 20 November 2020.  The contributions will inform a conference set for early in 2021.
