Európsky hospodársky a sociálny výbor (EHSV) vyzval na prijatie súboru opatrení, ktoré by každému umožnili zúčastniť sa na konzultáciách týkajúcich sa návrhov Európskej komisie „Fit for 55“ a mať z nich osoh. Návrhy majú nasmerovať EÚ na cestu k zníženiu emisií CO2 o 55 % do roku 2030.
„Dosiahnutie revidovaných cieľov na rok 2030 navrhnutých v balíku „Fit for 55“ bude mať nerovnomerný vplyv na regióny a komunity naprieč Európou. Preto je mimoriadne dôležité riadne navrhnúť a primerane financovať vhodné mechanizmy solidarity, ktoré umožnia sociálne spravodlivú, konkurencieschopnú a ekologickú transformáciu,“ uviedol podpredseda EHSV Cillian Lohan.
Stanoviská a spoločné závery EHSV
EHSV vo svojich stanoviskách (celkove 22 stanovísk< style="color:blue">< class="underline">) plne podporuje tento balík a vníma ho ako nevyhnutný nástroj na urýchlenie energetickej transformácie a dosiahnutie klimatickej neutrality. Zároveň však zdôrazňuje, že navrhované politiky musia zaistiť správnu rovnováhu medzi sociálnou spravodlivosťou, znižovaním emisií a konkurencieschopnosťou.
Spoločné odporúčania EHSV:
Pri ekologickej transformácii sa nesmie na nikoho zabudnúť, čo znamená, že stredobodom záujmu musia byť občania. (mr)
