European Green Deal Risk Radar
What to watch out for in the new EU legislative cycle
Our European Green Deal Risk Radar analyses the state of play of the 13 most important legislative files of the European Green Deal and identifies the potential risks these laws face in view of being delayed, defunded, undermined, or even withdrawn. It also provides a crucial timeline, highlighting when potential risks are most likely to emerge, be it because of revision clauses, delegated acts, impact assessments or a deadline for transposition into law by EU Member States.
