IV President Knill: Addressed the right priorities – avoidance of burdens on domestic industry & tangible acceleration of the process necessary
Vienna (OTS) – On the occasion of today’s discussion of the EU heads of state and government on Europe’s competitiveness and future EU industrial policy, Austrian industry agreed with the proposals presented by the Commission: “With the presented strategy for the long-term competitiveness of Europe, the Commission is addressing key challenges . In order to keep pace with competing world regions, more competitive energy prices, an increase in research and innovation and sufficient skilled workers in Europe are needed,” said Georg Knill, President of the Federation of Austrian Industries (IV) in the run-up to the EU summit.
Another central topic of the long-term strategy – the avoidance of multiple regulatory burdens for European companies – still requires concrete results: “For an intelligent regulatory system, the European legislator must ensure consistent application of the ever-growing number of tools to limit regulatory costs. The new proposal by Commission President Von der Leyens following a “competitiveness check” must not remain another buzzword without concrete consequences,” said Knill.
Regarding the industrial policy proposals for “Net-zero Industry” and “Critical Raw Materials”, President Knill welcomes the ambitious plans to a large extent: “The plan to accelerate industrial projects is a positive signal, but it is important that it is really for applies to all (!) key areas of the green-digital double transition and more broadly to important investment projects, not least to secure the energy supply”.
Find technology-neutral solutions for future mobility
In view of the ongoing discussion on dealing with internal combustion engines, dealing with the European industrial strength of the automotive industry is of particular relevance in terms of industrial policy. As the Commission also emphasizes in its strategy for long-term competitiveness, this key sector accounts for a third of all private research and development expenditure in the EU. “Despite the political decisions that have already been taken, we hope that the most technology-neutral possible solutions to the decarbonization of our future mobility will be found,” said President Knill.
The Commission’s proposal for the ‘Critical Raw Materials Act’ rightly shows that Europe will have to reduce its dependencies on individual third countries for raw material imports in the future. Here, Europe should “not close itself off to new partners, but rather seize opportunities and reach out to others so as not to fall further behind in relation to others,” concluded Knill. A free trade agreement with Mercosur plays an important role in successfully securing basic raw materials for Europe’s green transition, such as lithium from Chile.

Canada’s rental housing shortage might quadruple to 120,000 units by 2026 unless there is a serious boost, the Royal Bank estimated in a new report on Wednesday.
Over the next three years, Canada will need to add just over 110,000 units per year (for a total of 332,000) to reach the optimal vacancy rate of 3%. Nearly 70,000 were built last year.
Canada’s rental housing stock increased by 2.4% in 2022. This increase was 7.4% in Calgary, 5.5% in Ottawa-Gatineau, and 2.1% and 1.4% in Toronto and Montreal, respectively. According to the Royal Bank, slow growth in Canada’s two most populous cities is being overtaken by rapidly growing demand partly due to high levels of immigration.
The vacancy rate in Canada fell in 2022 to its lowest level in 21 years, at 1.9%.
Competition for housing also led to the largest annual increase in rent growth on record, at 5.6% for a two-bedroom unit.
