What's new

First introduced in the January 2025 Competitiveness Compass, the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA, originally Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act) is intended to counteract the decline of Europe’s manufacturing sector. To this end, the IAA promises to expedite permit granting processes for manufacturing projects, introduce preferential treatment mechanisms for European-made and low-carbon products, and facilitate Single Market access, with the goal of reducing the risks of strategic dependencies, creating new jobs in the sector, and overall ensuring that manufacturing reaches a value of 20% of the GDP of the EU by 2035.

LETTER

Open Letter on the Digital Omnibus Proposal

On behalf of the undersigned organisations, we express our strong support for the direction the European Commission has taken with its “Digital Omnibus” package proposal. However, we must unequivocally state that its current scope remains insufficient. This initiative marks a promising and much-needed first step toward meaningful deregulation in Europe, but it stops short of the bold, pragmatic, and forward-looking measures required to unlock Europe’s digital potential and secure its long-term economic prosperity.
POSITION PAPER

ZPP Position on the EU Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap

The European Commission presented its new European Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap, which seeks to apply lessons learned from the war in Ukraine for adapting Europe’s defence capabilities to the realities of modern warfare. While we believe some of the findings presented in the Roadmap to be of merit, we are concerned that it may reflect a shift away from established and proven defence industry actors, which could both reduce European preparedness in the face of ever-growing threats and undermine competitiveness.
POSITION PAPER

ZPP Position – The State of the Energy Union’s Need for Nuclear Considerations

On 6 November 2025, the European Commission published the 2025 edition of its State of the Energy Union Report. While the Report gives an overview of the progress being made in achieving Europe’s energy targets and outlines the next steps needed, the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) finds it sorely lacking in one field: nuclear energy.
