Mr Green Deal oversees epochal transformation

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : The Green Deal and ensuring its success is arguably the best way for Timmermans to shrug off any bitter memories from 2019.
51% : He said the success or otherwise of the Green Deal would be secured only if Europe was "firmly on track for at least a 55 per cent reduction" in carbon emissions by the end of the decade.
49% : The July package will contain the central planks of the Green Deal, including an overhaul of the EU's carbon pricing market, a border tax on polluting imports and stricter rules for car emissions to ensure the lofty targets can become reality.
46% : Applications for asylum within the EU declined 32 per cent in 2020 compared with 2019 as countries across Europe imposed lockdowns and restrictions on movement, according to the annual report published by the European Asylum Support Office.
44% : The 60-year-old, who is serving his second term at the EU's executive, is the face of the European Green Deal, a "moonshot" attempt to drive carbon emissions to net zero over the next three decades.
