However, this is clearly not enough. Declarations should be accompanied by quick and specific actions. ”

“Serious attention should be paid to the key features of the sector. For example, an increase in electricity prices in the EU should be compensated, and the restriction of emissions in the steel industry should be technically feasible in the current economic realities, ”added his sodac -raising Zbignev Kotovsky.
