11 Policymakers can help sustain EU competitiveness Encourage market conditions that provide European industry with access to energy and feedstock at a competitive cost. Access can be made possible through LNG exports from the US and indigenous gas exploration in the EU. Energy policies should be transparent, predictable and based on cost/benefit analysis allow market prices and open competition to determine the solutions and investments necessary to achieve societal goals at lowest cost. promote consistent energy taxation proportional to energy content. EU should guarantee a level-playing field amongst cost effective technologies. EU should encourage the setting of a common, predictable carbon price across the economy. 10

12 Summary Oil will remain essential for European economies for the foreseeable future. The refining industry is an essential and integrated part of many other European industries. EU prices are twice as high for electricity and three times higher for Gas compared to the US. Europe s regulatory environment is having a cumulative impact on industry competitiveness. EU policy makers can help sustain European competitiveness through transparent, predictable and market based policies. 11
