Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Yannis Karousos and Deputy Minister of Shipping, Vassilis Dimitriadis will have a series of contacts with MEPs and European Commission officials in Brussels.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Transport, the subject of the meetings will be the new EU "Fit for 55" legislative package under discussion, which aims to make the EU the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
While Cyprus shares the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the proposed package currently under negotiation in the Council and the European Parliament affects important sectors of the Cypriot economy, such as shipping and aviation. Karousosos and Demetriades will present Cyprus' national positions in order to shape the conditions for achieving improvements in various provisions of the legislation under negotiation, the statement concludes.
