Question for written answer E-002222/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Maria Grapini (S&D)
The previous Commission proposed a reindustrialisation programme.
Sadly, European industry is being seriously affected by competition from third countries, which are selling products from all sectors onto the EU market at dumping prices.
One example is the ceramics industry. Ceramics production is in peril in my country, Romania, as well as in other Member States, after companies invested hundreds of millions of euro in modernisation because of the different conditions imposed on European producers as compared to those in Asia (who do not have to pay to meet CO2 certification or water purification requirements, and where workers do not enjoy working conditions based on social standards, etc.).
My question is: Does the Commission have a plan for preventing unfair competition, to save the ceramics industry?
