POSITION on the EU climate ambition for 2030

Following the European Commission’s stakeholders consultation in view of the impact assessment on the EU climate ambition for 2030 and the design of certain climate and energy policies, AFEP publishes its answers and additional comments to the Commission’s questionnaire.

AFEP member companies remind their support to the target of the Paris Agreement by respecting regulations and taking voluntary commitments to lower their greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions where they operate, generally at a worldwide scale. They also want to be fully involved in making the European Green Deal a success for the Union.

In the context of the review of the 2030 climate targets, EU action should in particular determine the right balance between current and forthcoming GHG emission constraints, and more significant support to further develop low greenhouse gas emissions solutions within the EU – from the R&D phase until their rollout.
