EEF welcomes full coalition document

Manufacturers' organisation, EEF, has welcomed the publication of the full coalition document and has urged the government to now press ahead and consult with business on more detailed proposals to deliver a plan to rebalance the economy. On Environmental and Energy issues, EEF head of climate & environment, Gareth Stace, says: "While industry understands the need for ambitious targets to address climate change, the fear remains it will be left to shoulder the majority of the responsibility for reducing carbon emissions.

"We need to see a greater sharing of the burden across other sectors of the economy and for domestic users."
