IAA : "il est temps d'avoir un texte sur la table maintenant", dit le 🇫🇷 minstre de l'industrie, Sébastien Martin.

The "energy package" of the 10/03 has disappeared...
And three "orientation debates" are scheduled
Updated Commission agenda :
👉 IAA "to be confirmed" on 26/02
👉orientation debate on energy prices 06/03
Other annexes set minimum levels of EU and low-carbon content for products to be eligible for public contracts and grants. This includes using at least 25% of low-carbon and EU-origin aluminium for certain projects. For EV, this EU-origin threshold rises to “at least 70%”
2/2
❗️Leak - Industrial Accelerator Act could limit public support for energy-intensive sectors to EU producers 👉 as per draft annexes to the upcoming IAA
The first lists “strategic sectors” for which public support will be “granted exclusively” to producers from the EU

According to a draft agenda circulated today, the EU summit of 19-20 March is expected to be very busy, with leaders set to discuss competitiveness, the next multiannual financial framework, defence and security, Ukraine and maybe Middle East and migration

At the next European Council, I will come with a ‘One Europe, One Market’ roadmap, across these five blocks.
With concrete targets, with precise timelines.
And with very concrete proposals that we can deliver on, and fast, in 2026.
Carbon market #ETS was on everyone's lips at the informal #euco today
"Some leaders don't like the ETS, but other leaders do like it, so our discussion needs to continue on the matter", said @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu Antonio Costa
On energy market design : "we had an intense discussion" during the informal #EUCO said @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu
🚨She promised to come up with "different options" on whether there is a need to change the market design during March EU summit❗️
