Sustainable maritime fuels (FuelEU Maritime Initiative) - Deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (debate)

Mr President! I think it has become clear once again that it is important to support this dossier, also because, on the one hand, we need the infrastructure to solve this so-called chicken-egg problem. I believe that we have achieved this in electromobility. This can also be seen in the ramp-up of the various technologies and in the sales figures of the vehicles. But we must do the same with hydro…

Sustainable maritime fuels (FuelEU Maritime Initiative) - Deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (debate)

Mr President, dear colleagues, I think we have committed ourselves to the Paris Agreement targets, and with the Fit for 55 package, we, as the European Union, have put this legislation on the table.

Batteries and waste batteries (debate)

Madam President, I cannot stress enough how important this report is for achieving our climate goals. Just a few weeks ago, we might have only talked about the environmental, environmental and social benefits of the Battery Regulation, which will put Europe on the path to a sustainable and zero-emission future. But with the war in Ukraine, nothing is the same as it was before. This report, ladies …

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 21-22 October 2021 (debate)

Madam President, Excellency, ladies and gentlemen! Madam President of the Commission, I think it was right that you focused today on energy policy. I would like to use my limited time to point out another important topic, namely the importance of digitalisation. A secure and sustainable digital infrastructure is the foundation for our economy. However, it is also clear that the EU will be in a glo…
