EESC Urges Action on Affordable Energy for Industry
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is calling for measures to ensure affordable and stable energy for Europe's energy-intensive industries. In a new opinion, the EESC warns that high energy costs threaten the competitiveness of key sectors, like the chemical industry, and could lead to deindustrialisation. The Committee recommends a strategic approach to secure long-term energy contracts, boost renewable energy production, and improve infrastructure. This input is directed at EU policymakers to help shape future industrial and energy strategies.
EU advisory body warns high energy costs risk Europe's industrial base and jobs.
