"The EU" (@EU_Commission) proposes a #GreenDeal to make the EU carbon-neutral by 2050, and "the EU" (@Europarl_EN) seems to support it. Now, "countries" (@EUCouncil) need to support it. #IamEuropean

So, let's be clear: if this #GreenDeal fails, or passes in a watered-down version that empties it from its substance, it will not be "the EU"'s fault; it will be on "the countries". National leaders, currently attending a Council meeting, are the make-or-break force. #IamEuropean
As often, the #unanimity rule on the @EUCouncil means that any country has the power to oppose a major proposal supported by everyone else โ or at least remove key parts of it. This is not #democracy and is not sustainable. We need #EUreform and majority decisions. #IamEuropean
Mixed result in the end. "The countries" do adopt the #GreenDeal but #Poland gets an opt-out. So much for acting as one. How this will work if some countries (& industry) are forced to make a transition while Poland doesn't is anyone's guess. #IamEuropean
