(AGENPARL) - Roma, 16 Marzo 2023 - (AGENPARL) – gio 16 marzo 2023 Dear journalist,
On today’s Commission’s proposal for the Net-Zero Industry Act, BusinessEurope Director General Markus J. Beyrer states: “Limited scope risks to become handicap for Europe’s net-zero transformation”
– “The limited scope of the proposal for the Net-Zero Industry Act risks to become a handicap for Europe’s net-zero transformation. The EU must acknowledge that the decarbonisation of Europe is a matter of priority for the whole economy, industries and businesses.
– The attempt to speed up the expansion of manufacturing projects for net-zero technologies in Europe is highly welcomed. Simpler and faster permit-granting processes are a basis to attract more investments in Europe in key technologies for a successful decarbonisation. Europe is often too slow and too bureaucratic on all levels of planning, expanding, building and implementing industrial projects compared to our main competitors.
– Greater resilience should be built on closer cooperation with our major suppliers. Protectionist elements must be avoided. The Net-Zero Industry Act must keep markets open.”
