The EU Commission promises to stand up for the climate agreement from Paris in a new "vision" for climate and energy.

”We are a credible partner who plays by the rules and we are open to business and cooperation", it says among other things in Thursday's new strategy that is launched ahead of the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement.

Here, continued international cooperation on the climate area and investment in clean technology and clean energy are promised.

At the same time, the EU Parliament's industry and trade committee has agreed on its line regarding the phasing out of Russian gas and oil, which they want to be implemented by January 1, 2027 at the latest. On Monday, the EU countries' energy ministers are expected to try to agree on the same proposal – even if for them it still applies from January 1, 2028 for the time being.
