(3d) Provided the current phase involving an investment deficit by European producers does not persist for several more years, the condition of technologies employed by European energy-intensive industries will remain competitive at world level. But it is a matter of urgency because the investment crisis has lasted for more than five years now. Border adjustment measures will encourage investment in lowering greenhouse gas emissions, as a tool to make the European electro-intensive industry competitive. It will enable free quotas to be set aside for use in investment, as envisaged initially when emission rights were first introduced.
