MS. ELENI DESPOTOU
Overview of the presentation
• EuLA: who are we?
• EU lime markets
• Quicklime production
• EU lime industry challenges
• Conclusions
Who we are:
The European Lime Association, created in 1990, is the voice of the
European lime sector.
• EuLA provides sector-base representation for the lime industry at European level,
including technical, scientific and administrative support to its members on noncommercial issues. This includes:
• Addressing the current complex legislative framework;
• Speaking with one voice on scientific and technical dossiers;
• Managing horizontal sectorial issues of common concern including sustainable
development, Corporate Social Responsibility, Health & Safety, Environmental
Protection, Energy, Communications and end-of-use product legislation;
• Promoting Best Practices.

EU lime industry challenges
• Limited growth or no growth
• Stringent legislation (climate change, environment, energy)
• EU policy environment
• Neighbourhood political environment
• High energy costs and cost competitiveness
Result
• Shrinking of the industry

EU legislation
• EU wordlwide pionner on climate change related legislation
• New climate and energy package 2030
- 43% GHG emissions reductions for industry (binding)
- 27% RES contribution (binding at EU level)
- 30% Energy efficiency (indicative)
VS
- 20% target for industry contribution to the EU GDP. (aspirational)

Energy and costs competitiveness
• As of 2011 the EU dominates the export market for energy-intensive goods,
accounting for more than two-thirds of export value, which makes it the largest
export region for energy intensive goods.
• One can expect that regional price disparities increase the risk of reduced production
levels and investment in higher priced countries and bring changes in global trade
patterns, in particular affecting industries that have a high share of energy costs and
are exposed to international competition because their production is easy and
relatively cheap to transport.
• This is supported by analysis undertaken by the IEA in the 2013 World Energy Outlook,
which shows that persistently high energy price disparities can lead to important
differences in economic structure over time and have far-reaching effects on
investment, production and trade patterns.
CONCLUSIONS
• Stagnante market due to stagnante economy
• Limited new Investment
• Limited perspective to reverse the trend in a short term
• New mandate for the EU institutions in place…
