EU Energy and Climate Policy towards 2030: Shift the course towards competitiveness

11Mar
2014
Dinner debate in Strasbourg

Speaker: Hubert Mandery, Cefic Director General

Cefic will explain why they are joining calls to the EU institutions for an industrial and technological policy compact to integrate European manufacturing towards 2030. This policy compact requires fundamental changes in EU governance mainstreaming industrial competitiveness throughout all policy areas and decision-making levels. Beyond economic analysis and sometimes incoherent recommendations such as presented with the EC 2030 package, the European Institutions will require strategic redirection and priority setting for EU industrial and technological policy.

Hubert Mandery, Director General of Cefic, will highlight the challenges facing the European chemical businesses to maintain their competitiveness taking into account EU and national energy and climate policies. He will also illustrate market and policy solutions enabling carbon-efficient growth and high skilled employment in Europe.

We look forward to a lively discussion with our members.
