“Since the beginning of the legislature we have underlined the need for review the Green Dealto combine the objectives of the ecological transition with the industrial, economic and social ones” the minister began, then resuming the document presented to the European Commission by Mario Draghihighlighting “The unsustainability of the European industrial system, in the face of public resources destined by China and then, significantly, by the United States, to their own companies”. An environmental policy, the European one “badly done, because completely disconnected from an industrial policy”.

Urso then connected to current events, citing Volkswagen’s difficulties and the slowdown in sales of electric cars in Europe, reiterating the need for a technology neutrality policya theme on which the current Government (together with other European executives) has always focused.
