"Madam President, industry is vital for jobs and development in Europe. Without a competitive industry, the service sector will not grow either. Against this background, it is clear that the Commission must be very strict, observant and active when there is competition or a risk of competition that is based on lower climate and environmental objectives that result in carbon leakage.
Of course, we must also stand up for the principle of making exceptions for sectors that are indeed exposed to carbon leakage, and apply the principle wisely. However, this must not be taken to mean that European industry should be able to avoid its responsibility for climate policy in general.
On the one hand, the Commission must keep an eye on carbon leakage, leakage of jobs and leakage of competitiveness, and take action. On the other hand, faced with the lobbyists who sometimes tend to exaggerate the leakage risk, the Commission must respond to the demands from these lobbyists with substantiated facts and sometimes also with a certain mistrust.
Thus, it is the Commission’s job to deal with both of these challenges and not to set them against each other."@en1
