Commission President delivers 2025 State of the Union speech

The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, delivered the 2025 State of the Union address in Strasbourg on 10 September 2025, emphasising the need for Europe to stand united and fight for its values, democracy and independence in an increasingly hostile world. The speech highlights the challenges posed by global climate and health crises, the higher cost of living, and the war in Ukraine. It stresses the importance of Europe taking control of its own defence, security, technologies and energy sources, while also calling for unity between Member States, EU institutions, and pro-European democratic forces.

CJEU upholds nuclear and gas inclusion in sustainable investment taxonomy

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has dismissed Austria's challenge to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214, which classifies certain nuclear and fossil gas activities as sustainable investments under the Regulation (EU) 2020/852. Austria argued that these sectors should not be considered environmentally sustainable due to their associated risks and environmental impacts. However, the Court held that the Commission acted within its delegated powers and was entitled to conclude that, under specific conditions, nuclear and fossil gas activities can contribute meaningfully to climate change mitigation and adaptation. It emphasised that nuclear energy produces near-zero greenhouse gas emissions and that no economically viable low-carbon alternatives currently exist at sufficient scale to meet continuous energy demand.

EU Parliament approves EU CBAM simplification with new de minimis threshold

The European Parliament has approved amendments to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU CBAM) by 617 votes to 18, with 19 abstentions. The changes, part of the 26 February 2025 ‘Omnibus I’ simplification package, introduce a new 50-tonne per importer annual threshold exempting 90% of importers, mainly SMEs and individuals, while still covering 99% of CO2 emissions from iron, steel, aluminium, cement and fertiliser imports. The amendments simplify authorisation, emissions reporting and verification processes, and strengthen anti-abuse measures. The text requires Council endorsement and will apply three days after publication in the EU Official Journal.
