Following the publication of the “Clean Industrial Deal” by the European Commission, Business & Science Poland has published a Position Paper titled “Competitive Transformation of the European Economy – Sustainable Regulations and Support for Key Sectors and the EU Market”. Developed together with BSP members, the paper underlines the importance of implementing the planned decarbonization process of the EU economy in a balanced, realistic, and needs-based manner, taking into account the specific circumstances of each EU region undergoing the process.
During the implementation of the Clean Industrial Deal, BSP calls on the European Commission and other EU institutions to pay particular attention to the following issues:
1. Flexible approach to RED III, RFNBO, and low-carbon hydrogen for competitive decarbonization
2. Support competitiveness by reducing administrative and reporting burdens
3. Ensure fair competition and protect EU exports under CBAM
4. Adapt ETS 2 to economic realities while safeguarding industry
5. Promote a balanced, sustainable transition over excessive burdens
6. Protect the EU fertilizer sector’s competitiveness and supply security
7. Include civil aviation in support and deregulation plans
8. Align electricity pricing rules to safeguard energy-intensive industries
9. Strengthen national industrial bases and prioritize local suppliers
