In the context of an intensified global competition, the EU must restore the balance between transition policies and support for industry. To this end, the EU must provide European industry with the tools and resources it needs to make the transition to a low-carbon economy and enhance its competitiveness.
In view of the upcoming European “Clean Industrial Deal”, the three policy priorities for French companies are as follows:
- Design competitive solutions for the EU energy and climate transition, ensuring first and foremost that businesses have access to decarbonised and affordable energy.
- Support production on the EU territory and protect against the effects of overcapacity in third countries while maintaining the EU standing in global supply chains.
- Boost financing instruments in favour of the transition and ease their access.
