"It's not a luxury that we fall, if we are to further Crisis . It is important for The Future of Europe.

Meanwhile, China seems to be on its current carbon-intensive path of development, and President of the Trump says that the US is going to save fighting fossil fuel companies.

Even in Europe there is a certain amount of push-back against the idea of a green stimulus.

Markus Pieper , member of the European Parliament from the centre-right CDU party, told the magazine FOCUS that the EU would no longer be the far-reaching plan for investing in clean technologies.

He Said : "The Green Deal was a huge challenge for the economy in top shape. According to the corona-bloodletting, it simply is not economically viable. "

But the British climate economist Lord Stern told Bbc News : "The immediate priority, the current Covid Crisis But then we need to build for The Future .

"Timmermans is the right and Trump is wrong. We should only rescue companies that help to cope with Climate Change .

"you don't have to be said to be a clean-tech company at The Moment But you must be committed to cut their emissions In Line with the international targets. "
