Thank you @WBHoekstra for this insightful exchange on the key priorities of the #glass and #glazing industry.
There are many challenges, but with the right support and policies, our sector is committed to overcoming them and contributing to the EU #ClimateNeutrality objectives.

Important to have a discussion with representatives of the glass industry. This is a very important sector, which is facing challenges due to overcapacity and unfair competition.
We discussed the Clean Industrial Deal and the opportunities stemming from it.

The restauration of #NotreDame de Paris has restored the Cathedral’s stained-glass windows to their former glory.
#FlatGlass has been a part of architectural marvels for centuries, like the famous 13th century rosace at Notre Dame. We can’t wait to see it up close again!
