Industrial Policy
Industrial policy is one of the key action areas of the EMF Work Programme from 1999. Horizontal approaches (energy, external trade, innovation, environment) and sectoral approaches (all metal sectors) are combined and seek to find a balance between developing employment and improving competitiveness. Industrial policy creates the framework for a strong European metal industry with a high level of employment.
