Miliardy euro, które z unijnego budżetu mają być przeznaczane na przejście od gospodarki opartej na węglu w kierunku ekonomii niskoemisyjnej, mogą być zmarnowane przez kraje Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej - alarmują organizacje pozarządowe.

Taki wniosek płynie z raportu CEE Bankwatch Network i Friends of the Earth Europe, który współfinansowała UE. Organizacje opisały w ponad 150-stronicowej publikacji analizę planów inwestycyjnych i strategii klimatycznych 9 krajów Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej.

Monopolistic business interests and state intervention prevent investment in renewable energy sources, improved efficiency and smart grid technology. They block the country from accessing free money that would make energy cheaper, cleaner and more efficient.

WHEN the European Union was setting long term climate and energy policy 2014 the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) banded together in an effort to protect their manufacturing based economies.

Само 7% от средствата за програмния период до 2020 г. за 9 държави от региона са за възобновяема енергия

Държавите от Централна и Източна Европа рядко използват европейското финансиране за преходни енергийни проекти и вместо това насочват средствата за проекти, които укрепват зависимостта им от изкопаемите горива. Това се посочва в доклад на “Friends of the Earth Europe”, цитиран от онлайн изданието euractiv.com.

Милиарди евро от Европейския съюз, предназначени за трансформиране на неефективните им енергийни системи, отделящи високи въглеродни емисии, в Централна и Източна Европа се харчат неправомерно.

Abondés par les financements de l’Union européenne, les pays d’Europe de l’est et d’Europe centrale ne les emploient que rarement à des solutions de transition énergétique, dénonce l’association Les Amis de la Terre Europe dans un rapport publié mardi 26 janvier.

Selon l’association, seuls 7% des 178 milliards affectés à ces neuf pays [1], aussi bien par le Fonds européen de développement régional (Feder) et le Fonds de cohésion pour la période 2014-20 [2], sont orientés vers les énergies renouvelables, l’efficacité énergétique et les «smart grids».
