In her mission letter to Roswall, von der Leyen writes that the Swede is "as a rule" expected to work under the leadership of Vice-President Teresa Ribera, Spain's former Climate Minister, for a clean, fair, and competitive transition.

What she is then expected to do is listed in twelve points:

Together with the Industry Commissioner (Frenchman Stephane Séjourné), to develop legislation for a circular economy, including establishing an internal market for waste.

To increase efforts for an internal market for sustainable products.

To work on a new package for the chemical industry (again with Séjourné) with simplifications of the Reach chemical legislation.

To focus on the implementation and enforcement of existing environmental legislation, biodiversity, and zero emissions.

To prioritize how incentives can be designed for "nature-friendly actions" and "nature credits".

To work with the market to increase private financing for nature.

To develop a strategy for water resilience.

To work to facilitate public and private financing in water infrastructure across borders.

To strengthen the EU's global leadership in water issues.

To ensure that the EU meets its international commitments for biodiversity and strives for an ambitious global plastic agreement.

To contribute to a new plan for climate adaptation and the Commission's vision for agriculture and food.

To coordinate and be responsible for the development of the EU's "New Bauhaus" movement.
