"The Angelakas report offers a welcome simplification of the eligibility conditions for investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy for housing. Extending the use of fixed rates and flat-rate sums will have a positive impact on the day-to-day management of the Structural Funds.
The amendment to Article 7 of the ERDF Regulation, which enables all EU Member States to invest in measures relating to energy efficiency and renewable energy for housing, with the help of the Structural Funds, is a welcome move not only in the context of the current economic crisis. Facilitating EU-27’s access to the ERDF marks another step towards achieving the 20% target for Europe’s energy coming from renewable sources by 2020.
Since joining the EU, renewable energy and energy efficiency have become mandatory targets in Romania as well. As a result, the legislation for renovating residential heating systems will be amended so that 50% of the funds required will be covered by the state, the owners will pay only 20% of the costs and the local authorities 30%. To give you some figures, by the end of 2008, heating systems in 1 900 flats had been renovated. For 2009, the Romanian Ministry of Regional Development and Housing will allocate EUR 130 million for renovating heating systems, with nurseries, schools and retirement homes among the beneficiaries."@en1
