Europe and the United States should join together in the fight against climate change and also agree a new framework for the digital market, limiting the power of big tech companies, European Union chief executive Ursula von der Leyen said.
"I am sure: A shared transatlantic commitment to a net-zero emissions pathway by 2050 would make climate neutrality a new global benchmark," the president of the European Commission said in a speech at the virtual Munich Security Conference on Friday.
"Together, we could create a digital economy rulebook that is valid worldwide: A set of rules based on our values, human rights and pluralism, inclusion and the protection of privacy."
