Letter: Brussels should resist US calls to roll back green agenda

The We Mean Business Coalition urges the EU to distinguish between simplifying regulatory implementation and rolling back core green legislation, arguing that deregulation would penalise sustainable companies and harm long-term economic stability.

• The EU should avoid rolling back core sustainability regulations despite pressure from US deregulation, as doing so would reward companies that delayed action and penalise those that invested in compliance and clean technologies.
• Long-term economic stability and EU competitiveness depend on a just transition to clean energy; deregulation that encourages investment in polluting technologies is viewed as harmful to the economy.
• The EU should prioritize regulatory predictability and the removal of administrative burdens, such as reducing permitting times for clean energy, rather than dismantling existing green legislation.
