He cited also several successful past and current projects which Euratex jointly implemented with the European Commission's Directorate-General Enterprise and Industry, such as the Lead Market Initiative on Protective Textiles or the eBIZ project. Euratex's President said “Vice-President Tajani, we are looking forward to continue working very closely with you and your services to ensure that the European industrial policy provides a framework contributing to the sustainable competitiveness of our textile and clothing industry in Europe.”
Speaking after Mr. Tajani, the Chair of the Alliance for a Competitive European Industry (ACEI), Ms. Teresa Presas, conveyed the key priorities contained in the recently published Manifesto “Shifting Gears for a New Industrial Policy” calling for a new partnership between the EU and its major industries. Referring to certain recent political initiatives which seem overambitious, unrealistic or even contradictory she underlined that “More realism is needed to reconcile climate change policies and industrial policies and Europe can only succeed in this process with a spirit of partnership and with coordinated action.”
The rest of the public part of the Euratex General Assembly was devoted to the sustainability in the textile and clothing industry with examples from companies aimed at providing food for thoughts on: how the textile and clothing sector is sustainable in the wider sense of the term and what could be done to improve its performance in these areas.
