On December 4, Laura Salamanca, a tax expert at addwill, joined the First International Conference on Decarbonization, Renewable Energies, and Mobility, hosted by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona. This notable event brought together experts from various countries and disciplines to explore how Financial and Tax Law can contribute to the energy transition and the creation of a sustainable model.
In her presentation, Laura Salamanca discussed the crucial alignment between sustainable development goals and EU regulations on state aid. She emphasized how state aid plays a key role in encouraging businesses to invest in greener processes. Her talk focused on ensuring that tax incentives — such as reductions or exemptions for environmentally harmful activities — comply with EU law. Laura underscored the need to carefully weigh the benefits and drawbacks of these measures to ensure they truly motivate companies to adopt cleaner practices and account for the pollution they cause.
The event provided a unique platform for exchanging ideas on the challenges and opportunities of environmental taxation. It underscored the urgent need for effective fiscal policies to support the green transition and strengthen our commitment to a sustainable future.
Laura expressed her gratitude for the chance to participate and praised the organizers for creating a thought-provoking and collaborative academic environment.
