Mehrfach haben die Verantwortlichen die Präsentation der Infrastruktur-Initiative verschoben. Hinter den Kulissen wurden Finanzmittel mobilisiert. Nun legt Brüssel mit 300 Milliarden Euro ein dickes Portemonnaie für „Global Gateway“ auf den Tisch. Vorgesehen sind weltweite Investitionen in die Digitalisierung, grüne Technologien und Verkehrsanbindungen.

Three quarters of the EU's external trade volume and almost one third of its internal trade volume is shipped by sea. Maritime transport is indispensable for the EU. But it has a shortcoming: It emits CO2 almost unchecked. And so far there are hardly any solutions for making shipping greener in line with the Green Deal.
