Following the COP 21 Paris Agreement, more than seventy companies and industry associations are urging the EU to strengthen its strategy towards a low-carbon economy.
In view of the forthcoming discussions between Member States over the implication of the new international treaty for the EU, EGEC has joined the call from the business community asking for more ambitious EU binding targets and measures for both energy efficiency and renewable energy.
“The re-industrialisation of the EU economy based on competitive low-carbon business models, sustainable investments and innovation, new skills and more green local jobs, and increased productivity are opportunities to be seized”, states the letter co-signed by EGEC.
In the second half of 2016, the European Commission will propose a review of the entire climate and energy package, including a revised Renewable Energy Directive.
