Ensuring a rational and fair transition to the circular economy, fighting climate change, and protecting biodiversity without compromising the EU’s economic competitiveness are key priorities of Hungary’s EU presidency, a government official told a conference on Thursday.
The government seeks to improve Hungary’s environment, protect the health and quality of life of Hungarian families and communities, green the economy and strengthen its circular operation, Anikó Raisz, the state secretary for the environment and circular economy, said at the opening of the annual scientific conference of the Central European Academy, a two-day event promoting scientific exchanges in line with the priorities of the EU presidency.
So, building a sustainable, healthy and competitive Europe is a top environmental priority of Hungary’s presidency, Raisz, who holds the presidency of the EU’s Environmental Protection Council in the second half of the year, said.
