COM 15 / 25 - The Role of the European Industrial Gases Sector for the European Economy - A study in the context of the evolving Carbon Leakage Protection for the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA)
The EU-27 industrial gases (IG) sector (NACE 20.11) which covers the outsourced supply side of industrial gases, generated €21.2bn in revenue and €7.9bn in value added and directly employed c.40,100 people in 2024. Although modest in size relative to total manufacturing, upstream and induced linkages expand the footprint to €51.2bn in revenue, €21.0bn in value added and c.190,200 jobs in 2024. Industrial gases producers purchase a wide range of inputs (beyond electricity), and these flows propagate along EU value chains.
This study assesses level-playing field issues in the context of carbon-leakage protection. This has two dimensions: externally, it concerns the position of EU industries vis-à-vis non-EU competitors; internally, it concerns competitive neutrality within the EU – here, in particular, between insourced and outsourced IG production.

SI-TS 18 / 25 - Defensive Driving
Defensive driving is an approach to driving that emphasizes safety and proactive decision-making. It entails maintaining constant awareness of the surroundings, anticipating potential hazards, and taking necessary precautions to prevent accidents. When implementing defensive driving techniques, drivers remain focused and attentive, carefully surveying the road for any risks and adjusting their driving behaviour accordingly. They prioritize maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, complying with traffic laws and speed limits, and avoiding distractions that could divert their attention. Defensive driving also involves recognizing one's own driving limitations and actively seeking opportunities for skill improvement through education and training.
