Švédské předsednictví v Radě EU: Nová zpráva upozorňuje na evropský potenciál pro vytvoření ekologicky efektivní ekonomiky
26. června 2009 | Švédské předsednictví v Radě EU
A newly-produced report ‘A European Eco-efficient Economy’ focuses on Europe’s potential for creating an eco-efficient economy, one of the areas that will be given priority during the Swedish Presidency.
“The transition to an eco-efficient economy means a chance for Europe to meet the current climate and financial crisis together, while creating green jobs, competitiveness and confidence in the future through new innovations. The report provides us with a common starting point in the discussions on how Europe will be able to realise this vision,” says Minister for Enterprise and Energy Maud Olofsson.
The report describes how challenges such as the climate crisis, the financial crisis and a greater demand for natural resources could become opportunities by being dealt with using a coherent approach. It raises the importance of change in meeting these challenges, ensuring competitiveness and creating growth. It also examines both current and new projects, and presents a number of issues and proposals for political discussion.
“Sweden can set a good example by showing how the climate challenge can be combined with initiatives to strengthen the economy. During the Presidency we want to highligh EU job and growth opportunities by investing in energy efficiency, renewable resources and recycling. This is of key importance in achieving the EU climate and energy goals by 2020,” says Minister for the Environment Andreas Carlgren.
‘A European Eco-efficient Economy’ has been produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute and will provide the basis of discussions during the informal Council meeting of energy and environment ministers in Åre on 23–25 July.
