The Commission published revised mission letters to mark the start of its term of office on Sunday. In the mission letter for Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has softened the wording on phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Should Hoekstra still develop a framework for the phase-out in the September version, there is now only talk of a roadmap – „also in connection with the next Multiannual Financial Framework.“ In the EU context, „framework“ usually refers to laws.
