Transport, Energy & Climate

As Europe accelerates its green transition, energy security has become a central pillar of its long-term strategic resilience and industrial competitiveness. American companies in Europe are investing in clean technologies and decarbonisation, but their progress relies on stable, affordable and diversified energy supplies. To support this, the EU must revise its energy security framework by modernising grid infrastructure, streamlining permitting procedures and scaling up energy storage and digitalisation. At the same time, protecting critical infrastructure from cyber and hybrid threats is vital to maintaining system reliability. Learn how closer EU-US cooperation on clean energy and resilient supply chains will achieve a secure transatlantic energy future.

Healthcare

The proposed Critical Medicines Act (CMA) offers a pivotal opportunity to strengthen the EU’s pharmaceutical resilience. By embracing global supply chain diversification, open trade and strategic international cooperation, the EU can reinforce access to essential medicines while preserving its competitiveness. However, to succeed, the CMA must steer clear of protectionist approaches that risk undermining the internal market and disrupting supply. Instead, it should promote pragmatic, market-driven solutions with strong industry involvement. Read our full position to explore how the EU can foster a stable, secure and innovation-friendly environment for medicines.

Digital fairness through simplification

Digital Economy

The European Commission’s upcoming Digital Fairness Act (DFA) is a crucial moment to reinforce consumer protection without adding unnecessary regulatory layers. While the EU’s existing digital framework already addresses key issues such as dark patterns and deceptive design, inconsistent enforcement remains a challenge. A well-designed DFA must focus on regulatory coherence, legal certainty and risk-based intervention. By streamlining the rulebook and avoiding duplicative obligations, the EU can strengthen trust, preserve innovation and enhance competitiveness. Learn how a simplification-first approach can uphold digital fairness while supporting Europe’s broader goals of economic growth and digital leadership.
