This second seminar, which took place in Braila with 25 participants, was mainly focused on how Romania can use structural funds for energy efficiency and renewable energy. Ion Zamfir from Prietenii Pamantului presented examples from other EU countries, including UK (Wales) and Slovakia.
Currently no structural fund projects have been granted in Romania, but there will be large opportunities for Romanian municipalities to improve their energy infrastructure.
It is important that the funds be used for sustainable development and not for unsustainable road construction as has been the case in many other countries.
