<\/p>\n
The\u00a0European Green Deal\u00a0is an ambitious and comprehensive plan to turn the European Union into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy.\u00a0The Green Agenda for the Western Balkans\u00a0will provide further assistance, for instance in developing a circular economy and air quality strategies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Under the motto\u00a0”Europe is here,” the campaign informs the public about the EU’s financial assistance to Albania, especially in key sectors such as infrastructure\/transport, the environment and agriculture. \u00a0The second phase launch event was organised in the town of Kuk\u00ebs\u00a0in the presence of local authorities, environmental organisations, civil society, the business community and the media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In his remarks, EU Ambassador Soreca\u00a0said that\u00a0“The commitment of the EU to protect our environment is based on a simple fact: the benefits of protecting ecosystems by far outweigh the cost of their degradation. From Brussels to Kuk\u00ebs, from the EU Green Deal to our assistance in Albania, the European Union is working on the same priorities\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The \u201cEurope is here\u201d environmental campaign will explain how the EU is already changing Albania through its engagement on improving air pollution, the use of pesticides, waste treatment, river quality\u00a0and\u00a0biodiversity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
