Synthesis
Dirk Buschle noticed the opportunity for the EU to redefine itself with the Green Deal and the new competition rules. The origin of climate change lies to a great extent in the way energy is produced and used. The call to rebuild the current economy based on carbon since the industrial revolution entails that all industries and sectoral policies must participate in the fight against climate change. The question is to what extent competition policy can adapt to that without selling its soul. Given that competition law is an intellectual construct, and climate change is real, one should assume that competition law will be adaptable. How its traditional objectives and output can best be reconciled with the aim of the Green Deal is subject of the debate.
