Green homes, new EU rules.The League:“Unholy choices in Brussels”

All new buildings will have to be zero-emissions from 2030.The Northern League dissent starts from the North-East

ROME – The European Chamber meeting in Strasbourg approved the provisional agreement of the directive on energy performance in buildings which wants to accelerate building renovation rates, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of renewable energy in buildings.Among those against are the Italian parties Fratelli d'Italia and Lega.

According to the agreement, all new buildings will have to be zero-emission from 2030 and Member States will have to ensure a reduction in average primary energy used in residential buildings of at least 16% by 2030 and a range between 20 and 22% by 2035.

The member states they will have to renovate 16% of non-residential buildings worst performing by 2030 and 26% worst performing by 2033 based on minimum energy performance requirements.

ALLOY:“THE PRODUCTIVE NORTH EAST IS SUFFERING AND OPPOSING IT“

“It comes from the territory and the productive sectors of the North-East a loud cry of pain towards the wicked choices of Brussels, exclusively ideological policies that have affected companies, workers and families.There cannot be sustainability as an end in itself, much less if it penalizes our business system and is to the detriment of local employment. It is crazy to penalize jobs in Italy to give them to China.For this reason in the EU we have fought, we are fighting and we will fight to correct the mistakes of the current majority, against measures that have made this Europe less and less competitive and more and more dependent on Beijing".Thus the MEP Paolo Borchia, coordinator in the commission for Industry, Research and Energy of the European Parliament, provincial secretary of the League of Verona and deputy secretary of the Liga Veneta, on the occasion of the opening of the third edition of LetExpo in Verona.

“I share the concerns of the area and I will not resign myself to 'Brussels is asking us'. The facts prove it:over fifteen questions, several letters such as those on transition and packaging, presented in recent years to the European Commission to have a suicidal roadmap.Brussels' choices don't work.The League - concludes Borchia - will certainly not stop being critical of this vision distant from reality".The European Parliament, “with the votes of the left, gave the green light to yet another euro-madness, the costs of which will fall on the pockets of citizens already put to the test by the high energy costs of recent years.A choice that puts an end to five years of green-led legislature.Luckily, in June the music will change”, adds Alberto Villanova, Lega group leader in the Veneto Regional Council.

With the directive 'Green homes' the "real risk is a load of new costs that will burden families, who will have to renovate their homes to adapt to the objectives set by the European Parliament.Not to mention the depreciation of buildings, with the lowest energy classes unable to meet the imposed standards.This latest Euro-madness – continues Villanova – risks definitively putting many families in crisis, forced to take on expensive renovation work. It is difficult to see in the document approved today a European strategy aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050“, insists Villanova.That document "in fact only provides obligations for citizens, without concrete and sustainable solutions either for the economy of the states or for the citizens themselves.This is precisely the Europe we don't want, far from real daily needs, devoid of some planning and vision.To date, in the eyes of most people, it appears to be a complex tangle of regulations and directives imposed from above without, at the base, a democratic and participatory discussion with citizens.We need to change quickly.I hope that citizens will give a strong signal to the bureaucrats in Brussels next June."
