PRESS ANNOUCEMENT
BRUSSELS | The two-day Campaign Tour in Brussels – May
25 & 26 2021
The two-day Campaign Tour: "No
More Burning Trees I RED". The campaign tour is organized by Forest
Defenders Alliance[1]
and Comité Schone Lucht NL[2].
The main goal of the campaign is to encourage both the European Commission and
the European Parliament to carry out a truly sustainable revision of the
European "Renewable Energy Directive" (RED)[3],
without defining forest biomass combustion as climate neutral. Either forest
biomass should be excluded.
During the Tour, a number of media events will take place at some
locations in Brussels (such as the European Parliament, Place du Luxembourg)
with invited Members of the European Parliament and scientists. A joint
kick-off for the press and media will take place on 25 May at 12 noon Place du
Luxembourg.
