Europe: France Industrie welcomes the proposal for a Council Regulation establishing the Joint Undertakings under Horizon Europe (2021/0048 (NLE)), called the « Single Basic Act ». However, we would like to draw the attention of the Council members to some important transversal considerations for the French manufacturing industry:

1. Budget: ambition, co-funding and synergies
2. Role of founding members
3. Participation of third countries: a lever for growth, subject to conditions
4. Governance: rebalancing the representation of the private sector

Europe: France Industrie highlights that the IED provides an efficient legislative framework. It has proven to be effective in reducing industrial emissions through a technical and participatory process involving the industry and other stakeholders. While improvements can be made, there is no emergency to review it. We would support a limited revision that maintains consistency with other Regulations. In addition, the IED would benefit from being implemented in a more harmonized manner among Member States (…).

Europe: France Industrie welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation and its integrated approach as it will allow much more efficient recycling of batteries used within the European Union.

Europe:  France Industrie welcomes the review of the guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy as it is crucial that competition law provides, in its various branches, significant incentives to achieve the European Green Deal objectives, especially amid the current context of Covid-19 pandemic.

France Industrie stress that non-EU competitors (USA, China) will be heavily supported by their Home States in pursuing their environmental transition, therefore becoming a key competitiveness factor, particularly in the industrial sector. Therefore, EEAG should consider the EU’s global competitiveness rather than the EU internal market only.

Moreover, it should be noted that the fact that certain States or certain companies, European or extra-European, apply a standard lower than European standards would be a source of unfair competition which should be considered (…)

Europe : Avec le mécanisme des PIIEC, les Etats membres disposent d’un véritable instrument de financement de projets européens innovants d’envergure (jusqu’à 100% des couts éligibles) et de mise en oeuvre d’une politique industrielle européenne. Afin de porter l’ambition d’une relance de l’industrie dans un cadre européen, l’instrument des PIIEC doit être largement renforcé et son accès doit être simplifié (…)
