This memorandum is directed to the French government, taking over the Presidency of the Council of the EU from January to June 2022, following the\u00a0Presidencies of Slovenia, Portugal and Germany.<\/p>\n
This six-month period will be critical for Europe: the French leadership will be required to work on high-profile dossiers, including the Fit for 55 Package, which reforms a dozen policy files to increase the EU\u2019s 2030 climate target, and the Zero Pollution Action Plan, which has water, air and soil at its core.<\/p>\n
We hope to witness significant progress on commitments addressing the climate and biodiversity crises; see opportunities being seized to advance circular economy, the rule of law and\u00a0governance in the EU; and see global diplomacy on the European Green Deal being promoted.<\/p>\n
To guide the French Presidency when tackling the most pressing environmental issues and evaluate the Presidency’s performance during its term, the EEB uses its ’10 Green Tests’ as a green yardstick to measure environmental progress.<\/p>\n
