The 2030 targets of the European Green Deal are too ambitious for Bulgaria and may be restrictive for Bulgaria’s industry and labor market. The transition to low carbon economy needs to be smoother and just in an economic and social aspect, the position of the Economic and Social Council of the Republic of Bulgaria (ESC) reads. ESC emphasized the indisputable need of measures aimed at reducing carbon emissions and held a discussion and consultations with Commissioner Mariya Gabriel before adopting its position. The European Commission is guided by the principle that political ambition must not be at the expense of social Justice, Mariya Gabriel had underlined at the meeting.
