Unionsfraktion: 27-Punkte-Plan an die EU: CDU und CSU fordern billigen Strom für Unternehmen
CDU und CSU setzen die EU-Präsidentin unter Druck. Sie soll für Wachstum sorgen – und die EU im Welthandel stärken. Das Forderungspapier der Bundestagsfraktion liegt dem Handelsblatt vor.
The CDU and CSU are urging the EU Commission to align its policy with competitiveness, including providing energy at secure and competitive prices. A 27-point paper detailing this request is reportedly set to be approved by the Bundestag faction on Tuesday and subsequently sent by faction leader Thorsten Frei to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
As EU leaders convene in Brussels this week to discuss protecting the European economy and Europe's global role, the Unionsfraktion advocates for a regulated and cost-effective network expansion and a postponement of the methane regulation until the end of 2029, easing reporting obligations for businesses. Additionally, they recommend relaxing the EU's state aid rules to enable member states to more easily lower energy costs for energy-intensive and medium-sized enterprises.
Long-term, the faction supports future technologies such as next-generation nuclear power, small modular reactors, and fusion energy, emphasizing that Europe can only remain a hub for industry if energy is reliably available at competitive prices.
