In this context, the EU’s decision to hold off on imposing countermeasures against the US until early August is a constructive signal. It provides relief to industry, helps avoid further escalation and creates space for continued dialogue. The two sides must urgently seek a negotiated outcome to the ongoing dispute with the goal of lowering barriers to trade.

American companies in Europe are investing in clean technologies and decarbonisation, but their progress relies on stable, affordable and diversified energy supplies. To support this, the EU must revise its energy security framework by modernising grid infrastructure, streamlining permitting procedures and scaling up energy storage and digitalisation. At the same time, protecting critical infrastructure from cyber and hybrid threats is vital to maintaining system reliability.
