MEPs rubber-stamped a bill designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the EU building stock, another to limit air, water and soil pollution from industrial operations and a final one aimed at reducing transport emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The laws to protect consumers from misleading green claims, and to reduce food waste and bring about greater responsibility for textile producers will be followed-up by the next parliament, after the EU elections held between 6-8 June.<\/p>\n<p>One of the pillars of the European Green Deal, the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) got the green-light from lawmakers with 370 votes in favour and 199 against on Tuesday (March 12). Among the many provisions, the EPBD will launch a renovation wave across Europe\u2019s worst-performing buildings, mandate zero-emission buildings from 2030 and make rooftop solar the norm to tackle the 36% of EU GHG emissions emanating from buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Former deputy prime minister from Italy Matteo Salvini: &#8220;We will oppose it [EPBD], in the name of common sense and realism, as a government but above all as Italians. A house is a precious good, the fruit of a life of sacrifices, a place of memories and affections.\u201d European Heat Pump Association secretary-general Thomas Nowak: \u201cI am particularly happy to see that the loophole of \u2018fossil boilers that can run on e-fuels and should hence not be considered as fossils\u2019 has remained closed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A bill to be concluded in the next EU mandate, the Green Claims Directive was overwhelmingly backed by MEPs with 467 votes in favour and 65 against on Tuesday (March 12). Lawmakers voted on a series of rules to protect consumers from greenwashing and requiring companies to prove their green claims, including carbon offsets, through a third-party verification system.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/03\/15\/roundup-key-energy-and-environment-votes-in-parliament\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/03\/15\/roundup-key-energy-and-environment-votes-in-parliament\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/eu-policy-roundup-key-energy-and-environment-votes-in-parliament\/\">EU Policy.
