The cement industry's future in times marked by climate protection

摘要

This was the theme chosen by Reinhard Schultz, Member of the German Federal Parliament, in the invitation to a round-table discussion in Ennigerloh/Germany on 23.01.2009. The background to this event was the decision reached on 12.12.2008 by the European Council of Heads of State and Government regarding the EC directive for Emission Trading from 2013. Compared to the proposals that had been made by the EC Commission, the actual Directive contained some decisive improvements from the point of view of CO_2 and energy-intensive industries.
