"The exploitation of wind energy, that between 2007 and 2009 increased by 50%, has produced tangible positive results, covering the energy needs of over 4 million households, saving the emission of 4.7 million tonnes of CO2 and creating over 60 000 new employment opportunities.
The climate package, approved by the European Parliament in 2008 - said in a statement issued by Mr. Sergio Piffari - Italy has imposed specific energy policy objectives. Wind energy responds fully to the commitments made by our country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increased consumption of renewable resources and the energy savings.
If the government had indicated before the guidelines for the authorization of such facilities, expected by 2003 but only issued in September this year - continues the statement - probably many of the current problems to be addressed would have been avoided. I refer in particular to the strong criminal infiltration in the sector and its favored by a regulatory gap only recently filled. "
"The resolution submitted to the Environmental Commission - ends the document - calls for a concerted effort to ensure that government does not succumb to the temptation to undermine the efforts to develop renewable energy, combating lawlessness and corruption that has developed around the sector and the environment, landscape values, historical and natural, as well as the international commitments assumed by our country.
Graduate incentives in accordance with actual production of energy, through financial support tiered, targeted and no longer recognized distinction, and a strict control on issuing new permits, subject to effective compliance with the guidelines of the projects, are two principles that Italy of Values \u200b\u200bdeem essential to counter the criminal interference emerged in a strategic sector of the economy and booming like wind power and encourage its sustainable development.
