Poznan, Dec 5, 2008: The economic crisis must not be abused as a pretext for retrogressive industry policies at the climate conference in Poznan. This demand is brought forth by the Chief Executive Director of the cross-sectoral European business association European Business Council for Sustainable Energy (e5), Sebastian Gallehr. He warns the German chancellor of yielding to the demands of Poland and other states for further free-of-charge emission rights for energy producers in the context of climate protection. „Even now, many businesses are irritated because of unjustified high profits to the disadvantage of the general public“, Gallehr said. He added demands concerning the European economic stimulus programmes which are currently to be launched. They should concentrate on innovative, resource-friendly technologies and structural measures for energy efficiency in order to expand European positions as market leaders and to defend them against increasing competition from Japan and the USA. This would support small and medium-sized businesses and, by virtue of an immense job creation effect, initiate the desired boost of consumer demand.
