Overall, we support the position/input from DigitalEurope to this consultation and do not see the need to duplicate the content of their document. (Siemens is member of DigitalEurope and occupies a board seat in this association) Beyond this association position, we want to emphasize 2 additional aspects that Siemens AG sees as highly important to take care of: (1) Radio Spectrum: Siemens welcomes the engagement for…

Siemens AG welcomes this opportunity to provide feedback on the implementation of CBAM. Please find below and attached our main recommendations: Standardise emissions methodology and simplify reporting with user-friendly systems and minimal verification requirements. Define clear, grid-specific emission factors for electricity to incentivize low-carbon energy use in production.

With electricity demand surging and renewable integration accelerating, the EUs grid infrastructure faces unprecedented challenges that require bold, system-wide investments. The most effective way to enhance the EUs energy security, competitiveness, and resilience toward 2050 is to intensify the sustainable transformation of the gridplacing digital technologies at the heart of this effort to ensure it is smart…

Siemens A.G. welcomes the European Commissions initiative to boost electrification through an Electrification Action Plan. As a European technology leader, electrification is at the core of our mission, as it provides the most effective lever to decarbonise the economy, enhance energy resilience, and strengthen industrial competitiveness.

Siemens AG and its affiliated companies have a strong interest in a functioning and high-performing European standardization system to support legal certainty for manufacturers, traders, vendors and users, to maintain the free movement of goods within the internal market, and to accompany innovation in competitive markets.

Siemens AG is a technology company focused on industry, infrastructure and transport. We have a strong digitalisation expertise and long experience as providers of software solutions and manufacturers of highly complex electronics.

From a Siemens AG perspective, it is essential that companies are being given sufficient time to prepare the implementation of the CRA. We feel that the current deadlines are very challenging and force companies to allocate significant resources to it. This is also valid for the European standardisation activities which will rely on those technical descriptions. Simplification of the framework is therefore critical.

Have Your Say (24/01/2025): On the proposal for a regulation on a public interface connected to the Internal Market Information System for the declaration of posting of workers and amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 General remarks We welcome the opportunity to comment and have our say and highly appreciate the Commissions' proposal to harmonize and regulate the declaration of posting of workers.

We appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on the EU's Ecodesign review for electric motors and variable speed drives, focusing on system efficiency, material efficiency, and information requirements. Please refer to the annex for reasoning.
