The Italian manufacturing system, based on highly specialised industrial districts and small and medium-sized enterprises, is already today an efficient model of production, waste reduction and resource recovery. In this context, the transition to a circular economy is not only an environmental challenge, but a strategic lever for industrial competitiveness, technological novation and security of supply chains.

The depopulation of Italy’s inland areas is one of the country’s main economic, social and demographic challenges, as it leads to a progressive loss of human capital, skills and development opportunities. Inland areas, which cover around 60 % of the national territory and involve more than 13 million citizens, are a strategic component of Italy, directly affecting social cohesion, economic competitiveness and the…

Confindustria is deeply concerned about the Commissions proposal to update ETS benchmarks for the 2026-2030 period, which risks significantly increasing costs for European industry at a time of high energy prices, growing international competitive pressure and limited availability of mature and scalable decarbonisation technologies, especially for hard-to-abate sectors.

We agree with the Commission’s initiative. A reassessment of the current Directive seems appropriate, in order to ensure that it is consistent with the changed reference scenario, with the new objectives on energy, environment, climate change, the circular economy and transport, on the one hand, for the achievement of an energy mix to lower CO2 emissions, on the other hand, on developments in technology and the…

Confindustrias Position This is a crucial dossier for the Italian productive system: the demographic winter and the growing skills mismatch are costing billions of euros in lost GDP. A key priority for Italian companies is the attraction of talent from non-EU countries, through faster, more reliable and skills-based pathways. Key Proposals 1.
Confindustria welcomes the Environmental Omnibus package as a first step towards genuine simplification of European environmental legislation. At a time when the ecological transition requires massive industrial investment, it is essential to have clearer, more coherent and predictable rules that combine environmental sustainability with the competitiveness of the European production system.

Confindustria welcomes the growing attention of EU institutions to affordable and sustainable housing. In Confindustrias view, housing is a strategic issue not only from a social perspective, but also for economic growth, competitiveness and labour mobility.
Confindustria welcomes the revision of Directive 2009/73 and Regulation 715/2009, considering that the future H2 framework can be embedded within the principles of the Gas Internal Energy Market. Gas is an enabler of the EU decarbonization: several sectors rely on natural gas to fuel industrial processes (directly or through cogeneration) or as input for chemical production.
Confindustria welcomes the European Commission's initiative to develop guidance on the application of the "Do No Significant Harm" (DNSH) principle under the 2028-2034 Multiannual Financial Framework. Building on practical experience with the implementation of DNSH across EU funding instruments, the attached contribution highlights key challenges encountered by industry, in particular in terms of complexity…
The draft Implementing Regulation on the End of Waste (EoW) criteria for plastic waste, which is due to enter into force on 1 July 2026 and is currently subject to public consultation, falls within the scope of Article 6 of Directive 2008/98/EC (Waste Framework Directive WFD). The main objective of the Regulation is to promote the single market for secondary raw materials and promote the circularity of plastics.

The European space market is promising and still has significant potential for development. It must evolve into a competitive asset rather than remaining solely an area of technological and academic excellence. The EU Space Act has the ambition of acting as a regulatory harmonisation tool, but it should be accompanied by measures aimed at stimulating demand, ensuring proportionality, and strengthening human capital…
In its Position Paper on the revision of the EU Energy Security Framework, Confindustria calls for energy security to become a structural pillar of EU policy one that ensures stable, sustainable, and competitive energy supplies for businesses and citizens.
Confindustria agrees with the general objectives pursued by the proposal for a Regulation establishing the “Just Transition Fund”, but has several problems. Firstly, the resources allocated for this purpose are insufficient. The Commission proposal foresees a financial envelope of EUR 7,5 billion for the Fund, allocated under the EU’s multiannual budget for 2021-2027, which is still under discussion.

Confindustria contributed and agrees with BusinessEurope's position paper on European Commission proposal for mandatory authorization for the crisis management. Confindustria, in line with European industry, expresses strong concern about the EC proposal, which risks weakening the European patent law system to the detriment of innovation and competitiveness in the Eurozone
A centralized system for the grant and enforcement of a Unitary SPC (“uSPC”) through a single procedure, analogously with what is being achieved with the European Patent with Unitary Effect and Unified Patent Court ( EP-UE and UPC, respectively) is certainly a very desirable option with a view to creating a more predictable, less burdensome and cost-effective system for Europe.
We welcome the provision of common rules on multiple-vote share structures (MVSS). Although, the limitation of the scope of application only to unlisted companies seeking admission to trading of shares on a SME Growth Market (SGM) is insufficient.
