We must encourage investors’ confidence in #green transition. During #EBAA2023, I urged my European colleagues to have a fresh look at business aviation; aircraft are the quickest to adopt advanced technologies & should have a pathway to climate neutrality under the EU taxonomy.

If we do not allow business aviation to reap rewards for its #decarbonisation efforts under the EU taxonomy, we risk that #European companies will move to markets outside the Union. #EBAA2023

In #Greece I engaged with Kostas Bakoyannis & leadership of #Athens 🇬🇷 to delve into ongoing initiatives, our shared vision, immediate priorities, and the challenges faced by both countries. Our primary focus was on urban mobility & alternative transportation methods.

🇲🇹🇬🇷🇨🇾 Strengthening #maritime unity in #Athens: collaboration with European Commission & International Maritime Organization is key. We're concerned about EU environmental regs like ETS. Let's protect jobs and competitiveness while reducing emissions.

Today, we celebrate a good step forward in stabilising prices for food, medicine, and imports. We're on track to overturn the burdensome Vehicle Return provision for cargo trucks, a win for #Malta's economy with the latest ECJ Opinion.
