The European copper industry has launched its "Manifesto for a Competitive European Copper Industry".

This paper declares the principles that can secure a competitive

European copper industry and were the focus of a policy debate

hosted on 29 June 2010 at the European Parliament by the MEPs

Piotr Borys and Jacek Protasiewicz.

Speakers from the copper industry, the European Commission, and

the Energy and Climate sector debated how to achieve an

appropriate balance between EU policies that focus on

sustainability and resource efficiency and those necessary to

maintain a competitive business environment in Europe.
