Calling for action in Antwerp

One year after the launch of the Antwerp Declaration, 400 business leaders, industry representatives and worker organisations met in Antwerp to discuss the newly published Clean Industrial Deal (CID). Taking place on Wednesday, 26 February, Roger Coelho, Senior Policy Director, AmCham EU represented the organisation. With European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in attendance, business leaders stressed the need to restore Europe’s industrial competitiveness, attract investment and implement the European Green Deal. High energy costs, regulatory overlap and protectionist trends threaten Europe’s economic future, and decisive policies are needed to ensure the region remains an attractive hub for innovation and industry. 

The CID is a critical opportunity to revitalise Europe’s industrial competitiveness while advancing the clean transition. The CID must provide a stable and predictable regulatory framework to give businesses the confidence to invest in clean technologies. To deliver real impact, the CID must prioritise non-discriminatory financial incentives, regulatory simplification, energy affordability and strengthened transatlantic cooperation. Learn why now is the time to turn rhetoric into action and secure Europe’s industrial future
