ASCER (Spanish association of ceramic tile producers) and ANFFECC (Spanish association of ceramic frits, glazes and ceramic pigments producers) met with Sara Aagesen, Spanish Sate Secretary for Energy, to address the main threats to the international competitiveness of the ceramics industry, concerning the energy and the decarbonization process at national and European level.
Industrial and energy policies must be aligned to ensure the survival of the industry and the environmental interests without putting one before the other. Joint progress must be made to guarantee a future for industry and its employees. The ceramic sector in Spain has proposed the created of an inter-ministerial committee with the participation of the Ministry of Industry., Ecological Transition (Energy) and Economy to which the State Secretary has committed to consider the proposal.
