  1. EWI Workshop Europese vergroeningseconomie: uitdagingen en kansen Didier HerbertDG Enterprise & Industry

  2. The new European growth strategy“Europe 2020”

  3. Diverse picture of industry Renewables Textiles Pulp and paper Chemicals Energy Intensive industries Emerging trends Business transforms itself Security and space Non-metallic products Electrical engineering Basic metals ... ... ... Machine building Construction Motor vehicles

  4. An example of the challenge? Cement 1 ton Cement = 0,8 ton CO2 Avg price cement = €60/ton ton CO2=12 Euro Risk of greater imports/less exports on third markets “Carbon leakage”

  5. An example of emerging activities: size of EU Business related to sustainability • The business related to sustainability in the EU27 had a turnover of €232 billion (2.2% of GDP) in 2004 and €319 billion (2.5% of GDP) in 2008 (at current prices) • The direct-employment of the sector in EU27 is estimated at about 2.8 million and 3.4 million in respectively 2004 and 2008.

  6. EU Business related to Sustainability in the World Market • Emerging business opportunity for traditional industries but also opportunity for newcomers

  7. Diverse picture, depending on SME, Innovation, Internal market perspective • Highly efficient SMEs, but high potential of increasing energy efficiency is slowed down by lack of information • Demand-side policy spurs innovation; potential of cross-sectoral symbiosis • Internal market: is waste just waste or should we push for easier circulation of waste as a resource?

  8. What does it mean for policymakers dealing with competitiveness? • Are we watching the game , are we playing the game? • Success factors • But

  9. Examples of Success factors.1. Reality based policy-making; getting the numbers right

  10. Ex 2: Developping analytical toolsModelling the Cost of Clim Change Policy Economy-wide impact (-0,9%) vs Sectoral impact Low Scenario: Multilateral Action with 20% reduction in EU GHG Emissions by 2020 High Scenario: Multilateral Action with 30% reduction in EU GHG Emissions by 2020

  11. Example 3. Policy coordinationSustainable Product Policy How to have a coherent policy ?

  12. But • Everybody’s game in the department, • Do we have an overview of what we do on sustainable competitiveness? • Potential to link work, to use networks,..

  13. Conclusion (I) Need to grow our economy in a sustainable way without forgetting the limited impact of Europe on some issues (emissions) Green growth is not the exclusive domain of some sectors: paradigm shift Challenges and opportunities: role for policy At all levels to help adjustment and create win-win situations

  14. Conclusion (EU level ) • Need to bridge the 2 flagships (Ind Policy, Res Efficiency) • Polish interest will be followed by DK presidency • Action Plan on sustainable industrial policy foreseen in 2012: opportunity to have strong pillar combining ind/innov/SME actions • Meanwhile other actions underway, in preparation (Innov. Partnership Raw mat, REACH, Etc..)
