What Roswall’s Clean Industrial Deal means for environmental policy
Episode 240
Tuesday, 25 February, 2025
Today, the Commission unveils its rebranded Green Deal, signalling a new approach to industrial policy. The draft of the proposal obtained by Euractiv last week suggests a less-than-green path for Europe’s industrial revival, with a clear focus on slashing red tape. In doing so, however, it appears environmental safeguards may take a back seat. This negligence comes on top of unresolved issues on the regulation of forever chemicals, EU-wide waste management, and the sourcing of critical minerals – all challenges at the core of Commissioner Jessica Roswall’s mandate. So, what are her true priorities? In this episode, host Giada Santana and Euractiv’s environment reporter, Barbara Machado, explore the key elements of the proposal and what it means for environmental protection.
