The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Mr. Yannis Karousos and the Deputy Minister of Shipping Mr. Vassilis Dimitriades, accompanied by officials, will leave today for Brussels, where they will hold a series of contacts with MEPs and officials of the European Commission.
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.
During their contacts, Mr. Karousos and Mr. Demetriades will present Cyprus' national positions in order to shape the conditions for achieving improvements in various provisions of the legislation under negotiation.
