Press Releases and Statements
On the Hydrogen Acceleration Act: - 02.10.2025
Hydrogen projects need faster approvals
The industry finally needs swift approval procedures for electrolysers and hydrogen infrastructure. The new law can provide the necessary impetus – if it is implemented consistently.
Bureaucracy reduction and state modernization: - 01.10.2025
"Industrial SMEs need measurable relief by the end of the year"
The German government's modernization agenda will only help if it is implemented directly and consistently. This means: noticeably shortening approval periods, making the labour market more flexible and no more German "gold plating" of EU requirements.
On the EU sustainability omnibus package - 01.10.2025
"Blockade of Europe by Greens, S&Ds and Renew must stop!"
Three political groups in the European Parliament are blocking the urgently needed simplification of sustainability reports. Europe's competitiveness must not become a plaything of ideological interests.
Construction–Equipment and Plant Engineering - 30.09.2025
Brussels and Berlin must act now
The construction equipment and building materials plant industry warns of long-term competitive disadvantages caused by market shifts on global markets and home-grown structural problems in Europe.
