In a European Commission document showing its action plan on the energy front in the coming years, there is an entire chapter devoted to Crypto.
Chapter 6.4 states that (underlined parts):
MiCA will require that the footprint of crypto assets be explicitly defined by those who will handle them
It will urgently require member states to take measures aimed at lowering the energy consumption of miners.
This, for example, will mean eliminating the tax incentives that exist in some states for miners
In the event of an energy crisis, one must be prepared to impose a STOP of mining
The Commission will promote lower energy impact consensus methods
