Objectives. “The EU must insist on comparable and binding targets for all developed countries. For globally traded carbonintensive goods, the EU must insist on equal treatment in both developed and emerging economies, in order to preserve the competitiveness of the EU industry. In the absence of such conditions, the European Union should not unilaterally increase its emissions reductions target from 20% to 30%.” The joint declaration signed last week by EUROFER, the European metal employers’ organization, and its union counterpart, the European Metalworkers’ Federation, insists that the EU doesn’t set out more ambitious objectives to combat climate change, which might jeopardize businesses’ competitiveness. The European Commission, which planned on going to 30% last Wednesday, finally decided, under France and Germany’s lobby, to wait until the international partners made similar efforts. The European social partners think that achieving these objectives isn’t the priority. They think that the establishment of an international global verification and monitoring methodology must be the priority. They add that businesses receiving European subsidies for the environmental transition should actively be involved with such systems.
