What does it take to secure the competitiveness of the European downstream industry?
This key question framed the APPLiA lunch debate held at the European Parliament, organised in collaboration with MEP Kosma Złotowski.
The event brought together policymakers, industry representatives, and stakeholders and marked the launch of APPLiA’s campaign calling for an EU Action Plan to safeguard the future of home appliance manufacturing in Europe.
Christel Delberghe, Director General of EuroCommerce, contributed to the discussion on how EU policies can better support downstream industries, strengthen the Single Market, and ensure a competitive and resilient industrial base in Europe.
