ZERO considers that industrial acceleration should only be supported if it leads to absolute and verifiable emission reductions, avoiding the prolongation of carbon-intensive assets or new fossil dependencies. First, the articles on the subject matter, scope and objectives of the Regulation should be amended to clarify that strengthening European industrial capacity should be conditional on climate neutrality, the…

Corporate fleets represent a significant opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation of road transport. In the first half of 2025, they accounted for 60% of new car registrations across the EU, yet were responsible for approximately 75% of car-related emissions, largely due to their higher mileage. Therefore, this regulamentation is a great opportunity to accelerate transition for road transport. How?
The Single-Use Plastics Directive has already delivered important progress and should remain a cornerstone of EU action against plastic pollution. It has helped establish legal certainty, stimulated innovation, supported national action and raised awareness across institutions, businesses and the public. These achievements must now be consolidated rather than diluted.
ZERO welcomes the European Commissions intention to develop a comprehensive framework for climate resilience and risk management. Europe is already suffering profound impacts from climate change. Portugal, one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the EU, is experiencing these with increasing severity, making it urgent that adaptation and resilience are addressed with ambition, equity, and binding commitments.
ZERO argues that EU climate neutrality should be achieved through deep domestic emission reductions. To align with 1.5 °C and equity criteria, the EU should reach carbon neutrality by 2040 (net zero emissions), underpinned by gross reductions of at least 92 % compared to 1990. 1.

It is undisputed that in order to achieve climate neutrality and meet the common climate and biodiversity objectives, the Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU) should phase out the use of fossil fuels, strongly reduce energy consumption – through maximum energy efficiency ambition, prioritising electrification and limiting the use of Green Hydrogen to sectors for which there are no viable alternatives – and…

The revision of the Governance Regulation should strengthen the EU framework to plan, monitor and support the energy transition after 2030, without changing the current architecture for 2030 and preserving elements that have already proven effective.

ZERO advocates for a substantial increase in the EU’s domestic ambition and a governance framework that ensures environmental integrity, accountability, and consistency between targets and public spending. To align with 1.5 °C and equity principles, the EU should aim for domestic neutrality by 2040, based on deep gross reductions: at least ~ 65 % by 2030 (76 % net), ~ 82 % by 2035 (94 % net) and a net reduction of…

The EU's LULUCF sector is essential for protecting Europe's biodiversity, water, and soils. Yet, since the year 2010, the net LULUCF has been sinking and the projections indicate that the EU will most likely miss its -310Mt LULUCF 2030 target by 50-125Mt.
Effective market surveillance should be strengthened through a set of targeted actions. Member States market surveillance authorities need sufficient staff and technical resources to apply rules more consistently across the EU, supported by the creation of an EU-wide Market Surveillance Authority.

We would like to support the draft Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations, and in particular the new energy efficiency formulas, less linear and more able, thus avoiding the current incentive for ever increasing capacities. We also welcome the provisions to avoid very lengthy programmes, with a preference for the duration indicated in Ecodesign on duration on the energy label.
