Ecocem is one of over 100 companies to sign an open letter to heads of state and Government calling on EU leaders to maintain a strong and credible EU Emissions Trading System.<\/p>\n
Coordinated by Business for CBAM coalition,\u00a0 Cleantech for Europe, Corporate Leaders Groups and We Mean Business Coalition, the letter underscores why the ETS remains central to Europe\u2019s competitiveness, investment certainty and industrial decarbonisation. The open letter cites the conclusions of the Draghi report on the competitiveness of the European industry remain valid.<\/p>\n
Ecocem believes that a robust EU ETS is essential to driving industrial transformation. \u201cThe EU ETS is a competitiveness engine for Europe as well as being the cornerstone of the EU\u2019s decarbonisation framework,\u201d said the Open letter.<\/p>\n
Moreover, \u201cthe upcoming revision of the EU ETS offers an opportunity to. Improve its design in very targeted ways, while remaining crystal clear on the trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n
