In accordance with the provisions of the draft regulation, fundamental goals are set, reminiscent of:
* The sustainable construction, the orderly and environment friendly operation and the development of the products and services supplied through the Forged Waste Control Companies (Fo.D.S.A.).
* Attaining recycling goals.
* Higher waste control.
* The simplification of the procedures for licensing and set up of Renewable Power Resources (RES) and Prime Potency Warmth and Energy Cogeneration (HHP) stations.
* The promotion of the set up of electrical energy garage methods.
* The aid of power prices.
* The success of power upgrading targets of the rustic’s development attainable.
* Helping the ones suffering from herbal failures, and so on.
Specifically, the invoice comprises major thematic sections and person rules, which worry:
· The modernization of waste control
As discussed within the invoice, the modernization of waste control is promoted during the implementation of a reform, which targets to extend the velocity of recycling.
Along with the availability for the recycling of plastics and aluminum bottles, the next are supplied for:
– Implementation of a carrier for the separate number of recyclables and bio-waste, in small island and mountainous municipalities with lower than 10,000 population and provision of suitable apparatus to the remaining.
– Legislation of problems associated with choice waste control, with the purpose of filing a brand new marketing strategy from the obliged manufacturers, which may even come with the number of recyclable fabrics, with triple the assets for recycling, i.e. about 100 million euros.

– Securing electric area for the set up of small wind generators and biomass vegetation that might be hooked up to the EDDIE community, to be able to reinforce, so far as imaginable, the number of RES applied sciences (countering the “monoculture” of PV vegetation) that take part within the power mixture of the native device and the electrical energy marketplace.
– The granting of extensions in regards to the time limits established for the implementation of RES initiatives, to be able to cope with the delays confronted and to verify the implementation of those initiatives.
· Measures to advertise power potency
The introduction of “Clusters” of Eligible Public Structures (Clusters) is presented, to be able to boost up the implementation of power potency techniques (e.g. “ELEKTRA” program).
The power problems with the draft regulation additionally come with: The mixing of parts of the brand new Directive to boost up and facilitate the set up of RES initiatives and warmth pumps, but in addition the solution of problems for the control of the group and operation of the electrical energy marketplace entities (EDEFEP, DAPEEP A.
