EU countries seek to prolong bloc’s funding for gas projects – document
EU countries are looking to extend EU support for cross-border natural gas projects, which is contrary to the European Commission's proposal to discontinue such funding. The EU's "TEN-E" regulations determine which cross-border energy projects can be classified as Projects of Common Interest (PCI), granting them access to certain EU funds and expedited permits. The EU is revising the rules in accordance with its climate change objectives, aiming to achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.0
