Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 665 consultation files tracked so far (57,774 submissions, mostly 2021–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Among the 163 think tanks and research institutions on this site, they rank #1 by legislative files engaged, a count of participation, not a measure of influence.

In order to strengthen its competitiveness and sovereignty, the European Union must direct public procurement as much as possible towards supporting innovation. Public procurement should be understood as a “lead market” for innovative solutions. By acting as the first buyer, the public sector allows an industrialist to validate its innovative solution.

The CEA welcomes the strengthening of the targets for the deployment of renewable energy in Europe, although it regrets that these targets do not target all low-carbon energy sources. A point of care, however: Although necessary, the development of renewable energy is not sufficient in itself to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, in particular if energy consumption increases or renewables replace other…

Renewable energy (‘EnR’) is an essential tool to achieve carbon neutrality by reducing European exposure to fossil fuels, the depletion of which ultimately represents a threat to the economy. However, their deployment is not an end in itself, but a means — among others — of responding to the twin challenges of climate and fossil fuel depletion.

The CEA fully supports the European Commission’s initiative to develop a European strategy for open digital ecosystems and open source solutions. As a research and technology organisation, CEA develops, uses and valorises many software products, an increasing share of which is distributed under open source licences, and relies heavily on these solutions in its research, technological development and innovation…

The CEA welcomes the draft European regulation on critical materials, aimed at improving the Union’s security of supply through combined action on domestic supply of primary and secondary materials, as well as on the diversification of external supplies. However, it is a serious blind spot to propose action on the demand for materials by means of an effective and sobriety approach.

The Covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have highlighted some vulnerabilities of the European Union associated with the supply of raw materials and the strategic value chains that depend on them. The CEA supports the Commission’s desire to improve European anticipation capacities on these issues, as well as the reduction of the risks associated with supplies.

CEA welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Commission’s Inception Impact Assessment for a European legal act aimed at addressing the ethical and legal issues raised by AI. We welcome the initiative objectives, in particular the intention to create a harmonised framework in order to reduce burdensome compliance costs derived from legal fragmentation.
The CEA welcomes the European Commission’s ambition to establish a carbon border adjustment mechanism. Such a mechanism is essential to preserve the competitiveness of European industries against different decarbonisation pathways between the EU and its trading partners. The CEA would like to draw the Commission’s vigilance on a number of points.

Energy efficiency is one of the tools that can be used to achieve the EU’s goal of carbon neutrality and reduce our exposure to imported fossil fuels. However, it is not an end in itself which must be pursued for itself. Efficiency needs to be promoted only when it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption (gas, coal, oil).

The CEA supports the exemption from coverage of chemically and permanently bound CO2 (storage) provided for in the revised Directive. In the context of carbon capture and use, the Commission must ensure that carbon emitted into the atmosphere is subject to the emissions trading scheme only once (neither avoidance possibility nor the need for multiple coverage by allowances for a single emissions).

CEA, a research and technology organisation (RTO), is historically engaged in developing innovative low-carbon energy solutions to climate challenges. In this regard, it welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to define a post-2030 regulatory framework for renewable energy, and calls for the extension of low-carbon energy to all in order to increase the coherence and effectiveness of the decarbonisation…

The French national programme agencies Digital: Algorithms, Software, and Usages (spearheaded by Inria) and Components, Systems, and Digital Infrastructures (spearheaded by CEA) are grateful for the opportunity to present their joint response to the European Commissions consultation How to Master Europes Digital Infrastructure Needs.
The CEA welcomes the publication by the European Commission of its draft regulation on spent batteries and batteries. This project contains many positive developments. Other aspects would need to be completed and deepened. CEA supports the proposal to create a “passport” for batteries to transfer battery information throughout its lifecycle.

Electric mobility has a significant role to play in decarbonising individual transport, provided that certain constraints are properly addressed and anticipated. The carbon footprint of battery manufacturing depends mainly on the carbon intensity of electricity and the size of production. The higher the latter, the lower the carbon intensity of a battery production site.

The NZIA Net Zero Indutry Act is a welcome and necessary response to protectionist policies adopted by major competing powers in the European Union, and in particular to the US inflation Reduction Act. However, this text, which aims to support the location of strategic value chains for decarbonisation in the EU, has a number of limitations.

The CEA fully supports the work of the European Commission in preparing a European strategy for research and technological infrastructures. As a research and technology organisation, it develops and operates a significant number of these two types of infrastructure, which are essential to generate new knowledge and support technological developments for European competitiveness.

The deployment of electricity interconnections is a powerful tool for European solidarity, contributing to improving security of supply and reducing the carbon footprint of electricity consumed in Europe, maximising the use of low variable capacity that is also the least carbon-free (renewable and nuclear).

The development of trans-European energy infrastructure is necessary to make the most of the low-carbon energy sources available in Europe, while at the same time strengthening the continent’s energy security. This, however, means that all Member States that do not need to try to benefit from the development of interconnections to carry over the balance between supply and energy demand (in particular electricity) on…

CEA welcomes the European Commission’s call to strengthen the EU’s position in quantum technologies. These technologies will be transformational, and the EU must create its own industrial champions if it is to maintain its competitiveness and sovereignty. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to remain at the forefront of both basic and applied research.

The CEA welcomes the European Commission’s commitment to reduce anthropogenic methane emissions. The draft regulation covering emissions from the fossil fuel sector will need to be complemented by other regulations to cover the agricultural and livestock sectors and waste management (landfills and water treatment), other important sources of methane.

We would like to thank us for the possibility of presenting our perspective on the clean burning of wood. The producers of dust separators organised in the CEA are in principle in favour of clean stack and caching stoves in order to protect health and the environment. Wood-based heat has advantages that otherwise do not satisfy any energy source.
