  "account": "The Italian ceramic industry has seen a rise in exports to the EU in the first half of the year, with a 4.8% increase in volume and a 3.4% increase in value. However, the industry faces challenges, including high gas costs, which have more than doubled since the start of the year, and the Emission Trading System, which has led to increased costs for companies. Confindustria Ceramica, the industry association, is calling for urgent interventions, including the revision of the Emission Trading System and the implementation of the Decreto Bollette in Italy. The industry's competitiveness is also being affected by trade tensions, particularly with the US, and competition from countries such as India, Turkey, and China.",
