ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND TARGETS must be in line with EU’s share of global environmental pollution and take into account the real potential of Member States

We support the EU’s efforts in the area of climate protection, but at the same time we urge the legislators to make changes in the energy sector only after an intensive debate with all stakeholders. The global situation, the real possibilities of EU Member States and the competitiveness of our industry must be taken into account.
We want to set up a waste economy framework that will support reuse of waste over landfilling, thus opening the way to building a recycling industry that will have a positive impact on raw material efficiency and energy savings and job creation.
We demand introducing motivational measures for industry to maximise the use of all raw materials and energy flows into production processes, thus approaching waste-free production and maximum energy efficiency, and to promote the use of secondary raw materials.

“We support the transition to a low carbon economy. But this process must take into account technological development, global situation, real possibilities of the Member States and must not undermine the competitiveness of the European industry.”
