"Madam President, firstly, I would again like to thank Mr Pirillo for his question. The Commission is certainly not washing its hands of this very important subject.
The impact assessment on State aid guidelines concerning energy-intensive industries is ongoing. This impact assessment includes the steel industry as well as other industries which could be exposed to this problem. We cannot reach a firm conclusion on the specific sectors that will be the subject of these guidelines until the impact assessment is finished.
As far as the timing is concerned, the Commission’s intention is to have the new guidelines adopted by the end of the year, after a public consultation. Its services, namely the Directorate General for Competition, launched a public consultation via a questionnaire on the controversial issues of sectoral eligibility and calculation of the aid level. We received more than 140 submissions from Member States, industry associations and environmental NGOs. The services are currently analysing the replies, after which the Commission will present draft State aid guidelines. Member States and stakeholders will be consulted another time, before their adoption by the Commission, and, at the same time, Parliament will also be informed.
As you can see, the process is fully transparent. We are working on the guidelines and we will come forward with those guidelines by the end of the year."@en1
