When not working I play bike polo or I take the train.
Europe’s steel industry is at a crossroads:
1️⃣Stick on outdated, coal-based technology
OR
2️⃣Upgrade to green steel and step up on circularity
The choice should be easy.

The cost? Communities choking on pollution, facing higher risk diseases—even dying.
With the IAA car show ongoing, the carmakers must start demanding #GreenSteel.

We responded to the EU Commission's call for evidence on #CBAM with a 5-point submission, demanding that it will not be turned into a pure protectionist and trade defence measure.

What is needed now is the political will to make it happen and an industrial willingness to accept that business as usual will not save the sector.

🩺The diagnosis of European steel industry's trouble is widely shared but proposals for treatment vary.
🏭Current coal-based production model is incompatible with our climate targets and competitiveness endeavours = not at all future-proof.

Transition to the green steel needs fair debate, not backroom deals.

This worsens the corporate capture of industrial policy at EU level and jeopardises a fair and inclusive transition.
🤬But guess if we are at the table? NO, WE ARE NOT!
⛔Corporate capture instead of ensuring public interest, climate action & social justice are at the heart of the steel transition. @ec.europa.eu

A lot to unpack: despite good narrative elements on circularity, climate and decarbonisation, the only concrete milestone remains deregulation.
👍We welcome the commitments on the 2040 target, circularity and renewable energy expansion...
👎BUT beyond that, the package crumbles under scrutiny.

We want a deal that ensures European industries lead in the transition to a sustainable economic model—one that generates social benefits within planetary boundaries.

Commission's roadmap to the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) leaves a gap in mobilising additional finance, crucial for the transition to climate-neutral economy based on renewables and the 'hot topic', European competitiveness.

1/2 - I still wonder why competitiveness is the compass course we should follow, instead of aiming at a fair society that takes care of its people and planet? Competitiveness can help but is no end goal.
Commission takes a big misstep by framing regulation as an obstacle to competitiveness. It is not the rules protecting people, climate & environment that hold companies back, but the lack of investment & high energy prices driven by the EU’s fossil gas dependency.

Behind the buzzwords—‘cutting red tape,’ ‘slashing burdens’—lies a full-blown attack on social rights & environmental protections.
Deregulation won’t build fair societies—this would 👇
