A very good afternoon everybody and welcome to the press conference on the electrification action plan and the review of the EU emissions trading system that the college just adopted. Just to clarify, the college is still ongoing, which means that this is not the college readout, just the press conference on these files. There will be a readout that follows later with Executive Vice-President Virkkunen and Commissioner McGrath. And we are sending the press material to you as we speak, with links to the legal texts. You've been waiting long enough.

I will pass the floor to Executive Vice-President Ribera, followed by Commissioner Hoekstra and Commissioner Jørgensen. Executive Vice-President.

Thank you. Thank you so much and thanks for joining us today. I think that we come with very important proposals. We know we have been experienced that in the recent weeks. We used last Wednesday to give a smart reminder to all of us on to what extent climate change kills.

Climate change means destruction for the economy, for the society, for the infrastructures. We are a continent committed to climate neutrality to 2050. We are a continent that has been driven action for the last 20 years at least. And it is from that experience that we come up today with updated proposals on how to keep on doing, how to keep on driving, getting the lessons from the previous experience and looking into the future on how we can be more effective. Because the economics of climate also shape competitiveness, resilience and innovation.
