As the European Commission is currently finalising the post-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) proposal set to be launched on 16 July 2025, HEAL has sent a letter to the EU Commission President, the Executive Vice-Presidents, and Commissioners urging to scale up public investments into health protection from pollution and climate change in the next EU budget.
ClientEarth, CAN Europe, CEE Bankwatch, E3G and HEAL have sent a joint letter to Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager concerning the leaked draft Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework (“TCTF”) and our concerns by the direction taken.

We are concerned that the risks outweigh the potential benefits, not only in terms of impact on the single market but also on the environment and especially the EU’s climate commitments. We have three concerns:
1. The lack of green conditionalities
2. The risk of inconsistencies with the Guidelines on State aid for climate, environmental
protection and energy (“CEEAG”)
3. The lack of public consultation and transparency
