- Develop a strong investment pillar to back the Green Deal Industrial Plan and a just transformation of the economy
- Develop a green simplification agenda that improves permitting processes for green projects while complying with environmental laws
- Introduce strong climate, environmental and social conditionality in exchange for public support
- Claim stakes when grants to private companies are provided by Member States or EU funds
