European metalworkers and employers join forces for a more sustainable EU climate change policy

摘要

The European Metalworkers' Federation (EMF) and the European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries (EUROFER) adopted a "Common position on EU climate policy". The metalworkers and employers insist in a sustainable implementation of the EU Emissions Trading Directive (EU ETS) and oppose more ambitious European climate change targets in the absence of other countries committing to comparable measures. On Wednesday, 26 May, the Commission will decide whether it will propose a unilateral move of the EU from -20% to -30% in CO_2 reductions within the next 10 years.
