EU Member States do not fully exploit the opportunities that the transition to a low-carbon economy can offer in terms of innovation and modernisation in European industry and boosting employment,” says Martin Siecker, rapporteur for the EESC opinion on Market-based instruments towards a resource-efficient and low-carbon economy in the EU.

This is far from the truth however: using market-based instruments to advance the transition to a resource-efficient and low-carbon economy will not only create a greener economy, it will also support economic recovery," concluded Lutz Ribbe, co-rapporteur for the EESC opinion.

If the European Union is to achieve its objective of putting its economy onto a low carbon path, it must speed up the process, the EESC stated in its own-initiative opinion adopted on 25 March.

The Council examined draft conclusions on a roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050, which aimed to establish a sustainable and cost-effective trajectory to 2050, on the basis of milestones for domestic greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 40% by 2030, 60% by 2040 and 80% by 2050 compared to 1990, as proposed in the Commission’s communication "A roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050"(7505/11).
