technology for solar energy can benefit from the sustained
demand in Germany, and other countries, for solar panels;

• energy-efficient machines: the energy-intensive German industry
would reap benefits from investing in energy-efficient machines
in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions and enhanced
productivity. Dutch machine manufacturers and suppliers can
