Our priorities

A major focus in this mandate will be on the implementation of climate policies on the ground, which should emphasize economic growth and energy security, while safeguarding Europe’s global competitiveness. The ECR Group maintains that climate policies require a pragmatic approach rather than ideological goals that hinder the EU’s development. 

We strongly call for the EU to adopt a technology neutrality approach that allows Member States to choose the best energy solutions for their needs. While the EU’s goal is to reach climate neutrality as a block by 2050, we firmly believe that Member States, cities and regions must retain the freedom and flexibility to adopt policies that fit their unique circumstances.

Europe's energy strategy should include reliable, low-carbon solutions that will ensure the stability of our energy supply while reducing emissions. Further investments in nuclear fusion research are essential as it could help to play a vital role in securing Europe's energy independence as an affordable and safe energy solution guaranteeing that the energy transition remains economically viable for all regions of Europe.

We are committed to protecting Europe's workers and industries from unrealistic climate policies, and we will work to ensure that the regions undergoing structural transformation are not left behind, and that they will receive the necessary support to maintain their competitiveness.

We call for a just transition based on science, innovation and the adoption of new technologies; and not one based on regulation, bans and excessive taxpayer subsidies.
