SYCABEL, French cable manufacturers association, strongly welcomes the European Commissions initiative for a European Grid Package and welcomes this opportunity to share its recommendations and urges the European Commission to place European cable manufacturing competitiveness at the heart of the upcoming European Grid Package. Boosting value creation in Europe by securing industrial competitiveness of cables as net-zero technologies, empowering a green transition made in Europe for Europe as well as enhancing the security and resilience of European electricity infrastructure will only be achieved if the following recommendations are accounted for: 1) Securing European Industrial Competitiveness: Cables made in Europe for Europe 2) Protecting EU critical infrastructure: Security and Resilience of subsea cable systems 3) Promoting Fair Competition: Vital for a sovereign Europe We hope that you will find our proposal constructive and that it will contribute to the development of the EU grid. Please find attached our recommendations. Best regards
