The speed by which Romania will make the transition to a green economy will be different from that of other EU countries, and the support of European partners will have to be higher for our country, said Prime Minister Florin Citu.
"We have several goals at the moment. On the one hand, we want to create a competitive economy and, on the other hand, we committed together with our partners in the European Union to move towards a green economy, to be not only competitive, but also green. In the short term, the two may not be very easy to implement. The objectives, although common, the one regarding the green energy, with the European Union, the strategy to switch to a green economy is different from country to country. Romania will do everything in its power in the next period, in terms of green energy, but we have to be realistic and see exactly where Romania stands today. We are a competitive and clean economy, but the transition has a cost. And this is our point of view: the speed with which Romania will make this transition will be different from the speed we will see in other countries and, at the same time, of course, we need more support from our European partners, if we want to increase our speed," the Prime Minister said on Thursday at the "Grand Matinal Digital," event, organized online by the French Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Romania, Agerpres informs.
