A number of influential MEPs recently submitted a priority question for written answer to the European Commission to stress the urgent need for a political decision on the postponement of the Stage V transition deadlines. CECE reports that the initiative is led by Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Carlo Calenda, a leading MEP in the Industry Committee and responsible for the report on the future of European Industry.
The initiative was co-signed by MEP Maria da Graça Carvalho, EPP Coordinator in the ITRE Committee and Co-Chair of the Sustainable, Long-term Investments & Competitive European Industry Intergroup, and Jens Geier, leader of the SPD party in the S&D group. Other MEPs have taken additional initiatives to show their support to industry. All the MEPs insist on the need for the European Commission to act swiftly and decisively to prevent additional negative consequences on the construction machinery sector.
