Urso meets the steel chain, “EU reforms on CBAM and ETS are no longer deferable”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Meeting at Palazzo Piacentini between the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, and a representative of Italian entrepreneurs of the European Electromechanics Synergy Network (ESN), an industrial network that brings together companies of the European electromechanical and electrodesurgical chain.

The association urges the European Commission to integrate the safeguard measures on steel that will come into force from 1 July next, to defend the EU market from global overcapacity and from unfair practices, extending the safeguards also provided for strategic components such as transformers, generators, rotors and electric motors, so as to ensure the safeguard of the entire European industrial chain.

“Italy is at the forefront of Brussels in asking for an effective extension of the CBAM also to the downstream sectors, speeding up the revision of the ETS system and anticipating the entry into force of the Industrial Accelerator Act: there is no longer time to lose, we cannot wait until 2029′′′′, said the Minister Urso meeting the companies, reaffirming the sharing of the appeal of the enterprises and the full awareness of the Italian Government compared to the critical sectors.

“European reforms on CBAM and ETS and safeguard measures on steel are no longer deferable. The global context has radically changed and the path undertaken by the European Union in the last legislature, inspired by the ideology of the Green Deal, no longer corresponds to the reality of today, in which the conflict prevails, armed and commercial”, added Urso, informing the representatives of the ESA yesterday to have had a discussion on the topic with the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, Stéphane Séjourné, to which represented the European industry demands.

“Significant objectives, for which a choral teamwork between national institutions, the European Commission and the European Parliament will be fundamental, alongside companies, so that we can proceed in the same direction in a convincing and unitary manner,” the minister concluded.

The meeting also included representatives of MASE, MEF and MAECI, as well as MEP Elena Donazzan, committed to the European Parliament – within the Industry, Research and Energy Commission (ITRE), of which he is vice-president – in the process of reforming industrial dossiers within the trilogue.
