If you want to keep moving in the right direction, please do not turn the ongoing #simplification into #deregulation. This would be dismantling #environmental safeguards established over decades through democratic processes and grounded in clear scientific evidence, which underpin the #EU’s legal obligation to ensure a high level of #nature protection.
As you mention yourself, #climate action and economic #growth can go hand-in-hand.
