Europejski przemysł wstaje z kolan

The document proposes the RISE strategy to revitalize European industry by focusing on energy and resource efficiency, green technologies, and innovation. It argues that industrial competitiveness is impossible without a low-carbon transformation and criticizes current EU budget cuts in strategic sectors like Horizon 2020 and COSME. The author suggests specific financial mechanisms, such as feed-in tariffs for energy efficiency and eco-efficient loans, alongside legislative measures like ecodesign to reduce energy imports and costs.

• The author asserts that European industrial competitiveness cannot be achieved through deregulation, social and ecological dumping, or protectionism, but instead requires a low-carbon transition focused on energy and resource efficiency.
• The proposed RISE strategy is based on several pillars: an innovation offensive in green technologies, increased investment in R&D, the completion of the single market to support demand-driven innovation, and the development of workforce skills in STEM fields.
• Specific financial and legislative tools are recommended to stimulate the transition, including feed-in tariffs for energy efficiency, 'eco-efficient loans' that account for future efficiency gains, and ecodesign legislation which could save consumers and businesses 90 billion euro annually by 2020 and reduce Russian gas imports by 23%.
• The author criticizes the EU's current financial direction, claiming the 'Investment Plan for Europe' is a 'smoke screen' for budget cuts in strategic areas, noting that the COSME program was cut by 20% and the Horizon 2020 research program also faced austerity.
