The Clean Industrial Deal: Evolution or Transformation?
13 November 2024
The Clean Industrial Deal and the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act that has been announced by President Von der Leyen is set to be a centrepiece of the next Commission’s work. She has committed that the new Commission will deliver the Clean Industrial Deal Strategy within its first100 days. Little, however, is clear as to what will, should and could be in such a Deal.
This discussion seeks to answer this question, and look at what are the needs of industry when facing the decarbonisation and competitiveness challenges.
The participants will discuss, amongst others the following questions:
- How can EU effectively support and retain its energy-intensive industries?
- Is the CBAM effective? What reforms could enhance its role in safeguarding EU industry?
- Do existing trade policy tools adequately shield against unfair competition? If not, what measures should be considered?
- A reform of State aid is announced. What are the concrete changes that are needed?
- What additional actions are required to enable the EU to decarbonise and to retain energy intensive industry, especially in strategic sectors?
