6. Draft Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines Position by the industriAll European Trade Union  development and promotion of renewable sources of energy without any threat to jobs  compatible with the goals to revitalise European industry, combat global warming and develop renewable energy sources  Restriction of the current support schemes for renewable energy sources only advisable for mature technologies  State aids to promote renewable energy sources must under no circumstances be more conducive to precarious forms of employment such as temporary work and contracts for work labour, than to regular, insurable, normal employment relationships.

6. Draft Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines Position by the industriAll European Trade Union Energy-intensive companies are exposed to international competition with their products inside and outside the EU  Limitations to the allocation of costs for the promotion of renewable energy sources Innovative products constitute a precondition for the successful development of industry and employment in the EU and its Member States. A tax-financed promotion of renewable energy sources should not be taken out of the environmental and energy aid rules, nor should efficiency-conducive, industrial own power generation be burdened with the costs for the promotion of renewable energy sources

6. Draft Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines Position by the industriAll European Trade Union Efficiency-conducive, industrial own power generation should not be burdened with the costs for the promotion of renewable energy sources The plants therefore must be able to fulfil the following criteria as an alternative: – Rise in costs with regard to the gross value creation and intensity of trade inside and outside the EU to a relevant extent or, – Rise in costs to a great extent with regard to the gross value added, or – Particularly high intensity of trade inside and outside the EU and rise in costs above a minimum threshold, or – Consumption level by added value (kWh/€VA) which can be modulated by sector.

7. Information: Conference on energy policy “Creating Industrial Jobs in East and West: What European Industrial Unions expect from EU Energy Policy”  Cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Regional Project Labour Relations and Social Dialogue in CEE  When: September 2014 in Warsaw (tbc.)

7. Information: Conference on energy policy Idea Energy policy extremely politicised in EU Different economic capacities/perspectives TUs in CEE feel singled out in the discussion with other regions Invite TUs to Poland to discuss  adopt different perspectives Objectives Learn about different viewpoints on energy policy Discuss TU demands/ opportunities of policy choices Formulate expectations towards the new European Parliament
