The reality is that more than 90 percent of European companies invested last year [in the green transition]. It's not only the right thing to do; it's the smart thing to do, because we're all interested in reducing energy prices, reducing energy dependency, [and] energy efficiencies.
US companies are suffering more from the tariff shock than European companies . . . European companies are looking around the world at how to diversify supply chains, how to find new markets, new customers. They are adapting to this new environment.
I see from the European institutions clearly there is a determination not to miss the next train [with innovative disruptive technologies] . . . and we are working on a next generation of instruments to foster and to focus there.
[Today's geopolitical shifts] make it even more urgent that Europe breaks free from the excessive dependence on fossil fuels, and also that Europe stands on its own two feet when it comes to defense.
Fostering prosperity and economic and social stability around the world and in particular in our neighborhood is contributing to Europe's security. I think that's quite obvious. And so from this point of view, to us, the top priority is supporting Ukraine.
