Commissioner Tzitzikostas Speech at the High-Level Hearing on Supporting the European Automotive Sector in the Green Transition in Global Competition

Honourable Members of Parliament,

It is an honor to address you on a topic of vital importance to our economy: the continued competitiveness and green transition of the European automotive sector.

The automotive sector is a pillar of our economy. From iconic brands to millions of jobs, this sector contributes greatly to Europes prosperity and drives innovation.

However, we face challenges such as high energy prices and unfair competition from China. We must take steps towards greater sustainability and ensure job security.

There are also opportunities: new markets and innovations can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and strengthen the chain.
