AmCham EU has joined 16 industry partners in urging support for the amended Taxonomy Delegated Act. With application set for 1 January 2026, any delay would create legal uncertainty and disrupt company preparations already underway. The revised rules offer simplified and more consistent reporting obligations, essential for business confidence and regulatory stability. Reopening the process now would increase costs and undermine Europe’s competitiveness. Learn why timely adoption of the Delegated Act is critical to ensure predictable implementation, maintain trust in the EU Taxonomy framework and support companies’ sustainability efforts in the joint industry statement.

The Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) is designed to support fair competition in the EU, but after two years of use it has become more complex and demanding than expected. Companies face heavy reporting requirements, unclear procedures and rising compliance costs, which risk slowing investment and creating uncertainty. To keep Europe competitive, the framework needs to be more focused, balanced and easier to apply. Clearer rules and a more proportionate approach would help ensure the system works as intended. Learn how these improvements can strengthen the FSR and support a more predictable business environment.

On Monday, 25 and Wednesday, 27 November 2025, AmCham EU travelled to Frankfurt, Germany and Strasbourg, France to support an ambitious Savings and Investment Union (SIU) that will allow the EU to gain momentum towards more integrated Single Market.

Conversations focused on strengthening Europe’s place in the global financial markets and opportunities to streamline regulatory complexities. 

The delegation then continued to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where discussions with MEPs centred on securitsiation, the upcoming market integration package, next steps for the sustainable finance framework, the role of innovative technologies and the future of the digital euro. Throughout the visit, members emphasised the need to deepen Europe's capital markets, prevent further fragmentation, support innovation-driven regulation and foster a globally attractive investment environment that strengthens Europe’s financial resilience. 

On Tuesday, 25 and Wednesday, 26 November 2025, AmCham EU travelled to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. Over the two-day programme, the delegation met with nearly a dozen MEPs and advisors for an exchange on the future of EU trade policy. Discussions centred on the importance of transatlantic cooperation, the ratification of the EU-Mercosur agreement and the implementation of the EU-US Framework Agreement. Members underlined the need for an ambitious EU trade agenda that ensures market access, reduces tariff and non-tariff barriers and strengthens the resilience of European industry. The delegation also called for a swift adoption of the Commission’s proposal on tariff reduction on US industrial goods and reiterated the importance of a pragmatic, forward-looking transatlantic agenda that promotes predictability and economic security.
