On the occasion of the Steel Future Dialogue, Mr. Bernhard Osburg, President of the German Steel Trade Association WV Sthal & Chief Executive Officer of thyssenkrupp Steel Europe, explained to around 70 guests in Brussels where the industry stands in the transformation towards climate neutrality and what expectations it has of politicians to make it a success. Mr. Bernhard Osburg stressed that companies now need framework conditions that also take account of the changed international and geopolitical circumstances, in particular, the EU's Green Deal Industrial Plan will be a central building block.European Commission presented Green Deal Industrial Plan in February to enhance the competitiveness of Europe's net-zero industry and support the fast transition to climate neutrality. The Plan aims to provide a more supportive environment for the scaling up of the EU's manufacturing capacity for the net-zero technologies and products required to meet Europe's ambitious climate targets. The Plan builds on previous initiatives and relies on the strengths of the EU Single Market, complementing ongoing efforts under the European Green Deal and REPowerEU. It is based on four pillars: a predictable and simplified regulatory environment, speeding up access to finance, enhancing skills, and open trade for resilient supply chains.
