This Industry Policy – for our understanding – suffers from at least 4 central problematic aspects:

• The illusion of European Policy Makers that solving the biggest challenge, the global climate change, could be done by Europe alone, in particular by the European Industry alone, as supposedly main responsible and executor of political strategies;
• But on the other hand, that this strategy and the way towards this important objective shall be defined by the State / the EU institutions alone, instead of focussing on the definition of negotiated targets and aims, and leaving it to companies and the market to find the most suitable and efficient solutions;
• While setting strict timeframes and deadlines, increasing prohibitions, and putting a huge pressure on our society, which is made of individuals, companies, families and communities;
• And imposing as means to achieve the desired results certain technologies and processes, excluding by law other economic players from the market, making the emergence of unforeseen innovations impossible, and hence limiting future opportunities.
