The EU is challenged on several levels, as China and the USA, among others, are fighting with all their might to take over green industries and jobs, and Russia is threatening our security.
According to Green Power Denmark, the EU therefore needs to "get back on its feet" to create a green and safe Europe. This must be done, among other things, by Europe also supporting its green industries if they are to survive the fight, the business organization states in a press release.
- I had hoped that we were finished discussing state aid. But unfortunately we are not. Europe needs to enter the fight so that we are also able to produce green technologies in the future, says Jan Hylleberg, vice president. CEO of Green Power Denmark.
Ready with recommendations
The European Commission is expected to begin negotiations on the so-called Clean Industrial Deal soon, which is a follow-up to the EU's Green Pact, which is intended to create the framework for a competitive and independent energy sector in the EU.
However, Green Power Denmark is now getting ahead of the EU Commission with a number of recommendations for green European industrial policy. They include working towards European energy self-sufficiency, ensuring less bureaucracy and complex permit processes, and ensuring a balanced trade policy.
- If we do not actively do anything, we will not only fail in our responsibility to accelerate the green transition, but we will also lose the international competition for the green jobs of the future. In Denmark alone, more than 100,000 employees earn their wages in the energy sector - just over six percent of private employment in Denmark. These are good and well-paid jobs that we must take good care of, says Jan Hylleberg.
