EU Environment Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius warns of the potential politicization of EU's green energy regulations ahead of the 2024 European elections.
The ongoing work of the European Union on green energy regulations and laws risks being politicized ahead of the June 2024 EU elections, Virginijus Sinkevicius, European Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, told Bloomberg in an interview on Friday. “I don’t want new files to be politicized because of the elections coming,” Sinkevicius said. “I don’t want to open files and leave them in limbo,” the commissioner told Bloomberg.
Moreover, politicians in various EU states have criticized the high costs of an accelerated energy transition as governments have just poured billions of euros to help vulnerable households through the energy crisis. The EU is sticking to its target to be carbon neutral by 2050.
