European competition policy plays a central part in this, because green companies and investments are dependent on truly fair competition.<\/p>\n<p>However, at the moment, billions of euros of direct and indirect subsidies are funneled into fossil fuel industries, creating disadvantages for green industries. This includes the externalisation of environmental and climate costs that would, if taken into consideration, make most fossil fuel business cases completely unviable in competition with green industries, both globally as well as on the European level. Thus, it is high-time that the EU Commission is looking at the role of competition policy in the Green Deal.

EU environmental law is often implemented half-heartedly or not at all by EU Member States.
