[en] The Covid-19 crisis has created an unprecedented situation in Europe. As a consequence of the sanitary crisis, most European countries declared lockdown for their population, triggering an immediate slowdown in economic production. Most non-essential sectors and companies are now put on hold and the European economies are now largely focused on producing medical supplies alongside fulfilling the essential needs of the populations. The economic - and political - consequences are still impossible to evaluate precisely. Nevertheless, Europe is likely to face an economic recession at least comparable to the one caused by the 2007-2009 financial crisis. Economic analysts are focused on the importance of this recession, which goes with unprecedented volatility in stock exchange trading. This situation will - mechanically - have consequences over national and European policies and strategies. Among them, the most ambitious is by far the EU Green Deal announced in December 2019 and already considered as the main area of action of the new European Commission. This Green Deal follows the path of EU climate-energy packages but is also far more consistent with the iconic goal of carbon neutrality in 2050. As the Green Deal would mean an in-depth change in national energy mixes and landscapes all over Europe, it was intended to be a priority area for funding. Now being put at risk due to the foreseeable economic recession, there is a need to decide to go on with the Green Deal objectives or to adapt them. (author)
