Bucharest, June 3 /Rompres/ - Romania will encourage the promotion of environment technology for the production of clean energy, the Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development Attila Korodi said in Essen, Germany.

Attending the informal meeting on environment ministers of EU member and candidate states, Attila Korodi had two speeches during the session on the role of ecological innovations in an industrialized society and on the ways to cope with the climatic changes and the loss of biodiversity and natural resources.

Referring to the EU goals established during the Spring European Council to reduce the greenhouse effect emissions with 20 percent by 2020 and 30 percent at national level, the Romanian official stressed the importance of the research activity in finding efficient solutions.

'Each country obtains the necessary energy either by burning fuels, using water force, nuclear reactors or unconventional means such as wind and sun energy in different percentages. We must encourage the promotion of environment technologies able to produce a clean energy,' said Korodi.

The participants spoke about the December meeting in Bali, when the Parties of the Kyoto Protocol meet to speak about climatic changes.

The Romanian official said that Europe should begin to use green acquisitions at large scale, if it wants to obtain visible effects for environment.
