Ä65 to A1new21: TREATY CONCERNING THE ACCESSION OF UKRAINE, MOLDOVA, AND GEORGIA TO THE EUROPEAN UNION

Article 6.02: Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Obligation In recognition of existing energy dependencies and infrastructure constraints, the New Member States may continue to use coal, oil, and natural gas as transitional energy sources for up to twenty-five (25) years following accession. During this period, they shall pursue a non-binding objective of increasing renewable energy to approximately 40% of electricity generation by the end of the transition, subject to national circumstances. Any reduction of fossil fuels shall remain nationally determined, technologically feasible, and economically sustainable, without Union-imposed deadlines or funding conditionality tied to specific phase-out targets.

Article 6.02: Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Obligation The New Member States must commit to a legally binding target to phase out all coal and oil usage for energy generation within ten (40) years of entry into force, with private sector funding strictly conditional on achieving this benchmark, with limited EU funding for this.
