Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) The Commission has committed to mainstream climate change into Union spending programmes and to direct at least 20% of the Union budget to climate-related objectives. It is important to ensure that climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as risk prevention and management are promoted in the preparation, design and implementation of projects of common interest and that priority is therefore given to electricity interconnection investments. Infrastructure investments covered by this Regulation should contribute to promoting the transition to a low-carbon and climate- and disaster-resilient economy and society and minimise support for long-term high- carbon projects which lock in fossil fuels into our energy system for several decades and undermine the EU's 2020 and 2050 climate targets.
