The manufacturing industry represented by CEEMET and ORGALIME very much welcomes the European Commission’s recent clear message stressing that industry is vital to the economic recovery, industrial output must grow to reach 20% of GDP and that the policy focus has shifted towards reaching this target, growth and job creation.

Our industry also endorses the objective of the EU to transform Europe into a more sustainable economy and is eager to participate in the debate on how to achieve both the 20% target and the transition towards a sustainable economy.
