Recital E
E. whereas the exploitation of secondary metals is an imperative in an industrialised economy and must be developed as a competitive circular economy, with greater reuse and recycling of metal waste in an environmentally sound and health- conscious manner, but can by no means meet the base metals needs of European economies in terms either of quality or of quantity;

Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Calls on the Commission, therefore, to amend the system for allocating emissions allowances via extensive application of the assessment used for the reference values applicable to industry, which are based on greenhouse gas emissions per tonne produced and not per facility, as it is the cleanest plants which are needed to produce more; underscores, in this connection, the importance of a system that makes it attractive to invest in energy- efficient solutions;
Amendment 114 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. SCalls for energy-intensive industriesses to continue their efforts to optimise recycling arrangements and cutting CO2 emissions with a view to ensuring future industrial competitiveness and meeting the EU's binding reduction targets; stresses in this connection that the two dimensions of competitiveness and emissions cuts are becoming complementary since, if European production becomes carbon- virtuous, preservation of its share of the European and world markets is an effective means of contributing to an overall limitation of greenhouse gas emissions of industrial origin; adds that the same applies to the production of imported goods, for which the same approach should be followed;
