The Government approved a draft emergency ordinance establishing a state aid scheme to support industrial consumers in 15 areas through CO2 emission certificates, Minister of Economy, Energy, and the Business Environment Virgil Popescu said on Friday.
The minister explained that, through the normative act, the Government also helps the industry in the 15 sectors and creates the premises for future collaborations to reduce CO2 emissions.
"I think it is a good thing, we risk the relocation of the industries in these sectors. I think we are able to support these industries and we manage to maintain jobs in Romania, which is very important, and to increase the competitiveness of the Romanian industry," said Popescu.
