PvdA wants compensation for climate costs Timmermans | Inland
In the plan of Timmermans Substance Brussels the ambition is to use the amount of percentages by 2030 to 55 in 2030 ten compared to 1990. ‘-plan will hit citizens and companies in the wallet. With consistent policy, households will pay an average of 100 euros extra for energy and 85 euros extra for the car as a result of the Timmermans plan.
The higher prices should curb consumption and lead to a more sustainable continent. But PvdA member Thijssen already has options for the Dutch cabinet to guide that bill. He even argued in the House of Representatives for households to benefit. Something that outgoing Secretary of State Dilan Yeşilgöz (Climate) could not promise. She indicates that the negotiations in Brussels have yet to start. The Netherlands does not want to be looked into in advance, is her defense.
Resists
In the House of Representatives, the hands are not yet united for the green plan of the European climate break Timmermans. “We are not waiting for climate dictates from Brussels,” says JA21 leader Joost Eerdmans. He calls on the cabinet to oppose in Brussels and wants the Netherlands to oppose a possible veto by Poland, which opposes the plan.
The PVV also has nothing to do with the plan. The SP is critical and more that mainly becomes money in large companies. GL, D66, PvdA and Volt are well supported. The PvdD is particularly concerned about new investments in biomass power stations, now that Brussels is not stopping this and considers firing biomass necessary.
Pay
Timmermans himself wants to use a new climate fund to be set up to entice less prosperous countries to sign the plan. But there is a lot of skepticism about this in The Hague: wealthy countries such as the Netherlands will then have to pay more, is the fear.
VVD member Silvio Erkens does not feel like it. “We can then no longer strive for Dutch households, because Europe will redistribute the money to families in Portugal and Poland. To us, this proposal also feels like income policy and not climate policy. There is a feeling that the party political color of the European Commissioner for Climate may play a role in this.”
