Cefic, and its value chain partners Fertilizers Europe and Plastics Europe, call on the European Commission to publish the Industrial Accelerator Act without delay

Europe and its industry cannot afford hesitation. Investments are already moving elsewhere, and site closures and job losses are accelerating across manufacturing sectors. This is a decisive moment: Europe must move from diagnosis to delivery - not next year, not next week, but today. Industry urgently needs concrete, predictable actions.

Just last week in Antwerp, Europe's industrial and political leaders delivered a unified message: there is no resilient, safe, or strong Europe without a strong industrial base. The Industrial Accelerator Act is deeply needed: it is a crucial signal that the Commission intends to act now. Any delay would only deepen uncertainty and weaken Europe's ability to compete.

Europe must act now to restore industrial competitiveness and safeguard high-quality jobs. The window for action is narrowing - publishing the Industrial Accelerator Act is a necessary first step to show that Europe is serious about its industrial future. Every day counts.
