Abstract Three years after its adoption, and one month out from European elections with the potential to deliver a political earthquake, one might ask whether this Deal is likely to create a new economic model, or whether it amounts to little more than "greenwashing" of the internal market, transport, energy, and common commercial policy. Whilst the answer to this question will inevitably be qualified, we shall see that traditional economic interests have largely prevailed over the fight against pollution and the ecosystemic approach, whereas the social pillar of sustainable development risks being the big loser of the green transition. Finally, all of a sudden nature protection has become a scapegoat for some agricultural lobbies.
