News to start: Ukraine has agreed a minerals exploitation deal with the US that Kyiv hopes will improve relations with the Trump administration and pave the way for a long-term US security commitment for the country.Today the EU will launch its Green Deal 2.0 Clean Industrial Deal, in a daring bid to marry its ambitious climate goals with a push to increase its economic competitiveness. Teresa Ribera, the commissioner given this exigent task, told the FT that despite intense pressure from industry to deregulate and pare back green rules, Brussels is merely simplifying them \u2014 and sticking to its guns.Here, Ribera tells our competition correspondent more about how merger rules could be tweaked as part of this new approach, and the EU\u2019s equality commissioner tells Laura that Brussels won\u2019t be cowed by Donald Trump\u2019s bonfire of US diversity protections.Shifting the goalpostsThe EU\u2019s competition chief Teresa Ribera wants to take innovation, environmental and social standards more into account when policing mergers, she tells Barbara Moens.Context: The European Commission, the EU\u2019s top competition authority, is reconsidering how it polices dealmaking, in order to ensure the bloc\u2019s merger rules will help European companies build scale to take on global rivals. Ribera, who oversees both green policies and the enforcement of the bloc\u2019s antitrust regime, said she wanted to work towards building a more \u201cEuropean approach\u201d on mergers that would ultimately help \u201cproviding sustainable goods and equipment\u201d.Ribera said that it was important not just to focus on the lowest possible price when thinking about mergers, which would lead to \u201cthe lowest possible price for everything \u2014 including labour\u201d.She said other factors \u2014 such as \u201cthe environmental standards, the innovation components, the social engagement\u201d \u2014 should be taken into account. \u201cWe need to be sure that we retain the capacity to reinvest and ensure that we have the capacity to innovate, to ensure that we have the capacity to provide good quality jobs,\u201d she said.Ribera stressed it was about finding the right balance, similarly to the EU rules on state aid, which are receiving a makeover as part of the Clean Industrial Deal, which she is presenting today. The aim is to increase demand for clean technologies.But finding European solutions also demanded that Brussels could not cave to outside pressure on its regulations, the Spanish socialist said. The US administration has been stepping up its attacks on the EU\u2019s tech rules, as Brussels tries to tackle the dominance of big online platforms such as Apple and Google.Ribera stressed the EU\u2019s digital rules were fair and clear, and that it was in the interest of both European and American consumers that their rights were protected.Chart du jour: Shots firedVaccine scepticism was long a fringe phenomenon. But anti-vaxxers across the world have seized on growing public mistrust of the medical establishment \u2014 particularly since the start of the Covid pandemic \u2014 to reach an ever larger audience that cuts across both left and right.GirlbossesAs the US further fuels an international backlash against diversity, equality and inclusion, the EU wants to set things straight. \u201cQuestioning equality is questioning progress,\u201d EU equality commissioner Hadja Lahbib tells Laura Dubois.Context: Even before US President Donald Trump went on a campaign against DEI policies, European governments have been chipping away at minority and women\u2019s rights. Italy\u2019s government has promoted so-called \u201ctraditional\u201d family models, Hungary enacted laws curbing LGBT+ rights, and Poland restricted access to abortions. Lahbib said that it was time \u201cto restore a little bit of clarity of values\u201d in the EU. She intends to do this by publishing a road map on women\u2019s rights next week, reminding member states that \u201cour union [is] built on diversity\u201d.\u201cSome are on a different page when it comes to abortion, sexual and reproductive health rights,\u201d she said, adding that in other countries, \u201cit\u2019s about labour markets\u201d.Lahbib said the initiative aimed to remind member states of the bloc\u2019s common values, and bring them \u201cin the same line\u201d when it comes to implementing regulations.\u201cInequality in general in the labour market costs \u20ac370bn a year in the whole European Union. So if we want to be competitive, let\u2019s start there,\u201d she said. According to the European Institute on Gender Equality, improvements in women\u2019s rights could lead to an increase in EU GDP per capita of between 6-9 per cent by 2050.However, Lahbib said that the road map would keep to general recommendations, and not, for instance, make concrete recommendations on abortions. \u201cIt\u2019s words,\u201d she conceded. \u201cBut today, the words are very important.\u201dWhat to watch today European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen participates in an industrial summit in Antwerp.College of European commissioners meets.Now read these<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
