Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday defended her track record as European Commission chief, saying she had promoted - and would continue to stand for - a fair transition to green energy, a strong geopolitical union and fair competition with the world.
In her annual state of the union speech, during which she announced that the European Commission was launching an anti-subsidy investigationVon der Leyen, who is widely expected to seek a second term at the head of the EU executive next year, stressed throughout her speech that Europe was, with her at the helm of the executive Commission, "responding to the call of history."
"So I can announce today that the Commission is launching an anti-subsidy investigation into electric vehicles coming from China. Europe is open to competition. Not for a race to the bottom," she said. In her last state of the union speech before European Parliament elections next June, von der Leyen said she and her team had delivered over 90% of the proposals presented when she became Commission chief in 2019.
