Today, ITI hosted a delegation from the European Parliament’s Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) for a policy roundtable at our Washington, DC offices. As IMCO engages with the new U.S. administration and key tech sector stakeholders, ITI members had a critical opportunity to exchange views on digital regulation and transatlantic digital trade topics with EU decision makers. 

Decarbonisation is not merely a matter of legislative initiative. It requires policy foresight that will enable the EU’s innovative industries to drive the continent’s sustainable transition in a competitive way.   ITI, alongside twenty other trade associations, is calling on senior decisionmakers at the European Commission to re-think the EU Taxonomy Appendix C. While this Appendix has incredible potential to fuel private incentives for environmentally friendly economic engagement, as it currently stands, the file sets disproportionately high requirements that prevent European manufacturers from accessing green finance.   ITI will continue to call for sustainable responsibility, lower costs, and private-public collaboration, all of which are essential for bolstering European competitiveness.   ➡️ Read our letter to EU policymakers at the link here: https://lnkd.in/eybJAAhr     ➡️ Read ITI’s policy recommendations for EU sustainability here: https://lnkd.in/e8MVTh27
