❓ Is sustainability the enemy of competitiveness — or its foundation?
💡 @Umweltbundesamt just published a fact sheet on the future EU #MFF, incl. #ECF & #R&I #FP10.
Europe’s long-term competitiveness depends on systemic sustainability transformation 🌍⚙️
Climate resilience, circular economy, interoperable data & implementable regulation must be built into the next funding architecture — not added later.
The R&I chapter builds on @casriproject.bsky.social & #IGEPAS.

Future-orienting the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF)

The EU’s next Multiannual Financial Framework offers an opportunity to align funding with competitiveness and resilience goals. The current proposal suggests a weakening of the environmental and climate priorities. This policy brief advocates for a future-oriented MFF that embrasses resilience, climate change, environment and green innovation.

Yes there has been a reaction from the civil society NGOs, among them the European Transport Safety Council #ETSC, #FEVR - European Federation of #Road #TrafficVictims, #CleanCitiesCampaign,
International Federation of #Pedestrians and #ECF - European #Cyclists’ Federation.

EU response is unclear so far.

(It is not unlikely that you are a member of some national NGO which is in turn a member of one of those, btw)

European Commission reneges on road safety promises: New trade deal Framework could open door to dangerous US pick-up trucks

The EU and the US published a joint statement on a framework for trade on 21 August¹. The framework of policy measures that both sides commit to is to resolve trade imbalances.  Key term number 8 states that: With respect to automobiles, the United States and the European Union intend to accept and provide mutual recognition to each other’s standards.  This is a complete reversal of a

Il successo del leasing delle bici assistite in Germania

In #Germania quasi 2 milioni di #ebike sono state acquistate con uno schema vantaggioso e apprezzato dai lavoratori dipendenti, attraverso le aziende che li impiegano.

Lo schema ha avuto un impatto visibile, le bici sono molto usate per gli spostamenti quotidiani, anche grazie ad infrastruttura che, pur non essendo al livello di quella dei Paesi Bassi, è, di solito presente e di qualità discreta.

#ECF propone all'UE di inserire uno schema simile nelle strategie europee, visti i vantaggi economici, di salute e la coerenza la dichiarazione europea sulla #ciclabilità adottata l'anno scorso

In Italia le aziende hanno programmi solo per #auto, grazie agli incentivi fiscali. Si tratta di uno schema che droga il mercato delle auto, e, secondo #Legambiente, di uno dei principali sussidi ambientalmente dannosi, denaro pubblico che contribuisce a peggiorare la #crisiClimatica. Penso che uno schema simile a quello tedesco per le bici potrebbe avere successo anche qui.

Se il vostro datore di lavoro vi proponesse un leasing per una e-bike su 3 anni col 20% di sconto, direttamente in busta paga, ci fareste un pensiero?

Breaking: @euractiv_politics leaked the draft #ECF Competitiveness Fund Regulation proposal for @vonderleyen's next #EUBudget. We'll have to analyse, but:
- How much is in for the green transformation?
- Why is there no earmarking to #RestoreNature or #LIFE?
- What about central management?
My wife just said that #TyreseHaliburton is trying to make sure to get #MVP for the #NBA #Finals should the #Pacers come up as the Champions and not repeat his #ECF premature celebration! 🤪
