MMR - Low Carbon Strategies

The Energy Community is currently looking at options for including portions of MMR legislation into its legal framework. This would be the first real piece of legislation which would "encourage" GHG (Green House Gas) emissions inventories and preparation of a low carbon pathway. As such its important. The issue is that some actors are saying they do not have the capacity resources to deal with this while others are saying we should wait until the EU version of this legislation is updated. The response to this is the capacity requirements are small (Croatia and Slovenia proved that) and the delay maybe substantial.
Therefore thinking a push on this in some form at Trieste would be a concrete action and on topic for an upcoming issue.
Attaching a letter which a group of MEPs sent to the relevant Commissioners addressing the two concerns raised above and urging action.

One BIG thanks to all of you for your inputs so far! On behalf of the Heinrich Boell Foundation, I would like to let you know that we will consolidate your inputs from this discussion and put them up for a vote in one week. This public vote will enable us to transparently select up to three topics to be discussed during the Civil Society Forum in Trieste in July 2017. Outcomes of these consultations and those of our discussions in Trieste will result in a Western Balkans CSO Declaration on Environment, Energy and Climate Change to be included in the overall CSO Declaration that will be presented to the WB Prime Ministers on the WB Summit on 12 July 2017.
So, your inputs remain really important. Please, consider that only those topics to be proposed by WB CSOs here in this consultative process will be discussed in Trieste and presented to the Prime Ministers. We are looking forward to your inputs!
