Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Strongly believes that increased support is urgently needed for low carbon technologies in the demonstration and commercialisation phase; therefore welcom for new decentralised renewable technologies,; the proposed EIIs; stresses, however,refore stresses the need to also increase this support for R&D in such technologies that will be needed over the longer term;
