Beyond this crucial step for the new 2024-2029 mandate, it is important to spotlight the Political Guidelines which will shape the path of the new administration. #Industries, #competitiveness, and #prosperity are the keywords for the upcoming five years.

Thank you 🙏 Belgium 🇧🇪 for your 13th Presidency of the Council of the European Union. 📍From 1st of January to 30th of June 2024, Belgium chaired the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, focusing on #democracy, #unity, defending the rule of #law, the #GreenDeal, and the future of the #EU’s internal #market and #industry. 📌 During these six months, significant frameworks marked their final steps: the #CriticalRawMaterialsAct entered into force, and the #NetZeroIndustryAct was adopted, in May. 🔎 The 🇧🇪 Belgian Presidency placed the #energy and the #climatetransition at the heart of its priorities, underscoring the importance of having a decisive and #holistic action, “leaving no one behind”. In the wake of what was done by 🇪🇦Spain, the Belgian Presidency committed to #strengthening #partnerships with external countries, and the 🇪🇺 European Union's global #competitiveness. EUMICON is grateful for such a crucial #commitment to values that are also part of our association, and we hope for an Industrial Masterplan, as well as, to secure competitiveness for the energy and #rawmaterials industries.

📍 Which role will the #Export have in the future? Let’s think BEYOND THE BOX! This is the main topic of the Österreichischer #Exporttag2024, started this morning in Vienna. 🔎 Among the inspiring speeches we heard this morning, Mr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) underlined that the future of #industry belongs to 🍀 #cleanenergy, and this must be the core of a new industrial policy. 🇪🇺 #Europe may have erred in relying on a single energy source from Russia, resulting in energy costs that are up to four times higher than the global average. Therefore, Europe needs a new Industrial #Masterplan. 💡 As EUMICON, we hope that the new European Commission will set as one of its priorities to have an Industrial Masterplan and to secure #competitiveness for the #energy #rawmaterials industries. Globally, new clean energy enables Europe to deliver fast the #green #transition with globally competitive prices. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, and its President Mr. Harald Mahrer, for hosting us at such an inspiring event.

📍 Let’s start the day with an interesting visit to the Norsk Hydro primary #aluminium production plant in Karmøy (Norway). 💡 Our Director General Roman Stiftner is attending the #Aluminium National Associations #Leaders Meeting. We are all here to discuss the #impact of the 🇪🇺 #European #elections and the future of the #European Aluminium industry. 📍 Karmøy is known for its #technology pilot, the most #climate- and #energy-efficient technology for aluminium production in the world. 🔎 Once again EUMICON seized the opportunity to visit this facility to learn about the new technologies being used in processing and the needs that the aluminum industry may have shortly. The #commitment of our network is to bring #together all the #stakeholders, private #industries, #academia, and #NGOs in the #rawmaterials sector to overcome the imminent challenges ahead of us. 🙏 Thank you to the Aluminium National Associations Leaders Meeting for creating such an #inspiring networking opportunities.

We are #hiring a Communication and Events Intern. If you are interested in it, please send your application!
