EU ministers backed the recent ‘Fit for 55’ package to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030(see EUROPE B12764A10) and the circular economy concept to revitalise Europe’s textile and energy-intensive industries, at an informal meeting in Slovenia on Thursday 22 July.
The Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU had placed this meeting under the theme of the circular economy and had distributed a document detailing the specificities of the two ecosystems (see EUROPE B12766A14).
