My answer is &#8216;no&#8217;<\/strong>.&#8221; Therefore, &#8220;we should not make the mistake of backtracking on the green transition.&#8221; Not least because, he recalls, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eunews.it\/en\/2024\/05\/16\/droughts-floods-and-poor-water-quality-30-percent-of-southern-europe-already-under-permanent-water-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate change is already here<\/a>, and there is also a certain sense of urgency in having to give an answer.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economy Commissioner calls for non-partisan, non-comprehensive discussion on sustainability agenda.
