Amendment 157 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers, in the current context, that the Union requires a new, tailor-made industrial strategy that focuses on two distinct phases; the first aimed at recovery and the second aimed at reconstruction and transformation; calls on the Commission, therefore, to adapt the strategy published in March 2020 to the current situation and address both phases, while keeping the digital and environmental objectives and the EU’s strategic autonomy as priorities throughout;
Amendment 174 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Welcomes the Temporary State Aid framework as a way to promptly transfer liquidity where urgently needed; calls on the Commission nonetheless to ensure that the aid provided in the emergency phase does not lead to permanent distortions in the single market; calls on the Commission to review its State Aid policy, based on an impact assessment on the competitiveness of the European industry and explicitly acknowledging global competitiveness of the European industry as an objective of common interest;
Amendment 255 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Is of the opinion that the industrial recovery plan should help to create new ambitious and innovative European industrial projects which go hand in hand with the current revision of the guidelines for ‘Important Projects of Common European Interest’ (IPCEI), in order to encourage the emergence of European leaders in strategic industrial sectors that are capable of competing on a global scale; calls as such for the Commission to consider a revision of its 2014 guidelines to include the resilience of strategic value chains in the common European interest and strategic autonomy in strategic areas as criteria for defining IPCEIs;
Amendment 379 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Highlights the potential of the circular economy for modernising the Union’s economy, reducing its energy and resource consumption and, transforming whole industrial sectors and their value chains; and improving strategic autonomy for raw materials needed in the green and digital transitions; believes in this respect that the use of non-recyclable waste and biomass waste in industrial processes can play a key role in supporting the decarbonisation of certain industries; calls on the Commission to take swift action to ensure that industries can have a broadened access to these types of waste;
Amendment 410 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Considers that there is significant potential in domestic and global markets for low-emission technologies and sustainable products, processes and services throughout the whole value chain from raw materials to energy-intensive industries, manufacturing and the industrial services sector; considers that greater strategic autonomy should be a priority in specific areas, for example key pharmaceutical ingredients, medical equipment, and the metals and minerals required in higher volumes for green and digital transitions; considers, moreover, that the Climate Law is a first step towards enshrining climate targets into Union legislation; believes that a more holistic and systematic target framework is also required in order to ensure policy coherence across all Union policies and a homogenous governance approach in all policy areas, paving the way towards a clear and stable strategy for European industries;
Amendment 436 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Maintains that a truly effective European industrial policy needs a dashboard of climate targets as a roadmap to shape the industry of the future; considers that all sectors should contribute towards achieving the Union’s climate objectives and, in this regard, underlines the importance of competitive carbon-free electricity as a key enabler for energy- intensive industries, of gas as a means of energy transition and hydrogen and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage as a potential breakthrough technology; calls also for greater attention to be paid to network security and energy supply, as well as support mechanisms to ensure access to affordable and secure carbon- free electricity for energy-intensive sectors; calls on the Council to increase spending from the EU budget on climate change efforts; calls on the Commission to ensure that industries with high carbon leakage do not benefit from EU subsidies, and for better use to be made of the EIB, as the Union’s ‘Climate Bank’, to enhance sustainable financing to the public and private sectors and to assist companies in the decarbonisation process, and to use the Border Carbon Adjustments mechanism as a waynd improvements to existing carbon leakage and trade defence measures to protect EU manufacturers and jobs from unfair international competition; the Commission should also explore other tools beyond a Border Carbon Adjustments measure to support European industry’s transformation to achieve the Union’s climate objectives;
Amendment 514 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Calls for the Commission to further strengthen Europe’s low-carbon production in energy intensive industries (e.g. chemicals, steel, cement, non-ferrous metals) while striving for the implementation of the Circular Economy Action Plan II, to help displace imports from more carbon-intensive regions and incentivise higher levels of climate ambition from the EU’s global trading partners;
Amendment 517 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 c (new)
Paragraph 16 c (new)
16c. Considers that the EU should foster a fully circular and life-cycle approach to industrial decarbonisation, including both the production use and its end of life up until its recycling; calls on the Commission to follow such approach in policy-making;
Amendment 635 #
21. Is of the opinion that ecosystems will be key components of the next industrial revolution, providing affordable and cleaner energy, transformative manufacturing and service-provision methods; calls for each ecosystem to be analysed in more detail, including the specific needs of each contained sector and to develop sectorial investment plans for their transition; believes, moreover, that supporting collaboration among industry, academia, SMEs, start-ups, trade unions, civil society, end-user organisations and all other stakeholders will be key to solving market failures and supporting efforts to cross the ‘valley of death’, including in areas not yet covered by industrial interests;
Amendment 652 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 a (new)
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Highlights that investment in key value chains will play a crucial role towards preserving our future strategic autonomy; believes necessary to prioritize investments towards industry of vital importance to our strategic autonomy, such as security, defence, food sovereignty and health;
