With the new report on methane emissions, the European Parliament supports bold actions to minimise the damages methane causes to the environment. The waste sector cannot be left out of the process.

The latest United Cities and Local Governments-PLATFORMA study outlines the main funding mechanisms available to cities and regions, particularly in EU partner countries, to support their local development and decentralised cooperation activities.

It provides hands-on information and tools on financing opportunities under the European Commission’s new Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF).

Brussels/Frankfurt, 28 September 2021 – Commenting on the first meeting of the EU-US Trade and Technology Council in Pittsburgh, Ulrich Ackermann, Head of the Foreign Trade Department at VDMA, said:

Fossil fuel projects like natural gas pipelines will no longer be eligible for funding with EU money, as a result of the work by the Socialists and Democrats in the European parliament’s committee on industry, research and energy. S&D members of the European Parliament included this provision in the parliamentary report revising the 2013 regulation on trans-European networks in energy (TEN-E). The aim of this regulation is to set EU rules for cross-border energy infrastructures and determine the process for selecting projects of common interest.

Speaking from Berlin on 26 September, in response to the preliminary results of the German Bundestag elections, ALDE Party acting co-President Timmy Dooley said:

“I would like to congratulate our liberal partners Freie Demokratische Partei, FDP and its leader Christian Lindner on the excellent results in these elections.”
