🚀 EUROFER calls for support for the European Steel Pact! The CDU/CSU Group in the European People's Party Group in the European Parliament, led by MEPs Christian Ehler and Dennis Radtke, has presented a new proposal for a European Steel Pact. This timely initiative, coming at the start of the new EU legislative period, aims to ensure the rapid and successful #transition of the EU #steel sector. As EUROFER, we strongly backs the creation of an EU high-level group, led by a renowned political personality, to steer the transformation of the sector which is at the core of many vital #cleantech value chains. Political support for this initiative is therefore essential. “We count on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to support and integrate this initiative into the new EU legislative cycle. The #CleanTransitionDialogue on Steel, initiated in April by the President and Maroš Šefčovič, was the right start. Now we should develop a set of measures to be implemented swiftly”, emphasises our Director General Axel Eggert. The European steel industry identifies as priority areas for action for the next European Commission: 🌐 Tackling overcapacity and unfair trade practices; ⚡ Ensuring access to competitive clean energy and essential raw materials; 🛍 Creating lead markets for green products; 🌱 Strengthening the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM); 🏦 Improving the utilisation of funding instruments for green investments. The European #steelIndustry is a cornerstone of our economy and EU innovation. By addressing these critical issues, we can secure Europe's leadership in clean steel technologies and ensure a sustainable future for our industry.
