113.6 million euro loan for fiscal and energy reforms - Measures, expansion of the tax base and support for renewable energy
A loan of 113.6 million euros from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will support the second phase of the "Resilience and Green Development" program.
The focus is on three areas of intervention: Strengthening the renewable capacity of the government sector and households, strengthening the framework for the energy market and scaling up renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as protecting the environment and reducing the carbon footprint.
Meanwhile, in the context of strengthening the energy market, promoting renewable sources and energy efficiency, several key measures will need to be taken.
As for the third pillar, the law on extended producer responsibility will have to be adopted, which obliges producers to cover the management of their waste, as well as measures to reduce greenhouse gas and fluorinated gas emissions, through a gradual increase in the carbon tax. The draft is currently being discussed in parliamentary committees.
