Co-Founder & MEP of Volt Europa - Engage in positive European politics, together. End fear-driven nationalism. Take up responsibility. Join Volt Europa.
I was just elected 1st vice-chair of the powerful Economy committee (ECON). I will use this role to fight for an innovation-friendly & climate-neutral Europe! 🚀 For example: 💶 Access to funding Too often, innovators across sectors fail to raise sufficient funds from within the EU. For example, the green -tech industry needs to finance large CAPEX-invest. For that we need to complete the banking & capital markets union and unlock EIB guarantees. 🏃♀️Fair competition There is a myth going around national leaders that granting public funds to large companies & weakening merger rules will make Europe more competitive. The opposite is true. We need to uphold anti-trust & state-aid rules for the best innovation to prevail! 🕵️♀️ Parliamentary Scrutiny Given rising nationalism, it will be crucial for the Parliament & Econ specifically to stand up when the Commission, but also member states, challenge our common rules and common European interests. Looking forward to working with all ECON Members!
