7/8 Lastly, this section includes a dig at monopolies, in particular Big Tech. Good to see that competition policy may look more closely at the distributional impacts of monopolistic behaviour. Could this be linked to ongoing supermarket boycotts in the Balkans? (balkaninsight.com/2025/01/31/w...)
Quote from p.21 of the Clean Industrial Deal Furthermore, competition policy plays a crucial role in protecting citizens' rights against excessive power, including in the digital realm, ensuring that new players operate fairly and do not concentrate economic and strategic power unduly.

What does the #CleanIndustrialDeal 's section on jobs and skills tell us about how the "new" Commission leadership understands workers' place in the industrial transition?
A thread 🧵 1/8
Screenshot of page 20 of the Clean Industrial Deal 7. Skills and quality jobs for social fairness and a just transition Every person, community, and business should benefit from the clean transition. The Clean Industrial Deal therefore commits to a just transition that delivers quality jobs and empowers people, building on their skills, while promoting social cohesion and equity across all regions. Our industry needs a skilled workforce and must offer quality jobs to attract top talent. Keeping workers and local communities at the centre of the industrial transformation, harnessing talents and further building up needed skills is essential for a successful clean transition. At the same time, the clean and digital transition also means shifts in the workforce and new requirements for skills.
