Danish Minister of Climate Chan Don Jorgensen has issued a call to these countries “The new green path to EU independence from Russian fossil fuels, as soon as possible”.
Twenty-seven and the European Parliament are currently negotiating “Green Deal” These include, in particular, the reform of the European carbon market, the ban on sales of vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035, and the more ambitious objectives for the development of renewable energy.
