AmCham EU has joined 16 industry partners in urging support for the amended Taxonomy Delegated Act. With application set for 1 January 2026, any delay would create legal uncertainty and disrupt company preparations already underway. The revised rules offer simplified and more consistent reporting obligations, essential for business confidence and regulatory stability. Reopening the process now would increase costs and undermine Europe’s competitiveness. Learn why timely adoption of the Delegated Act is critical to ensure predictable implementation, maintain trust in the EU Taxonomy framework and support companies’ sustainability efforts in the joint industry statement.

The proposed European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) within the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) package raises serious concerns about legal certainty, market openness and the proportionality of restrictions. Specifically, the introduction of EU preference in EU funding instruments as currently proposed would negatively impact long-standing cooperation between international companies from allied countries and undermine the EU’s ability to leverage the expertise and resourcing of US companies that have a long-standing commitment to and investment in the EU. The ECF in its design should seize the opportunity to strengthen the EU’s competitiveness by ensuring predictable eligibility criteria, increasing transparency and stakeholder involvement, and leveraging industrial partnerships.
