Duchies Government calls for EU to endorse Green European Fund and its model of funding
Today the United Duchies government called for the European Union to endorse and officially embrace the Green European Fund and its funding model. In a document released by the government they called for Green European Fund to be the official agency of Green and sustainable Development allowing the EDA to focus its expertise on humanitarian and economic development in order to increase efficiency by focusing on the specialties. The document called for a new more treaty based system whereby nations would join the EDA and GEF funding with nations donating money getting a seat on a council running it and appointing members and any nation contributing over 0.1% of GDP getting an extra seat to encourage bigger donations from nations and developing nations under 20,000 Euros per capita or under 1 trillion Euros GDP economy potentially getting an extra seat to balance power in the Union. The EU under the proposal would get 2 seats , 1 appointed by the Premier Commissioner and 1 by the Internal Affairs Comissioner. The model is proposed for both potential agencies. The government said "The current model is failing Europe in its ambition and scope by allowing central contributions from the EU budget and encouraging national donations we can greatly turbocharge anti-poverty and green transition measures. We believe structuring agencies this way would work well and the model could be applied to all EU agencies to boost co-operation in Europe while boosting sovereignty and control of the nations governments over the institutions." Seats would be appointed on a yearly basis. Any projects over 1 billion euros would require a council majority vote under the GEF style governing regime to safeguard money.
However it has been rumoured Strathae would oppose such a project being under the EU believing that a project independent of the EU government would make most sense one of the reasons it joined the Green European Fund. They have said if the proposals was adopted they would withdraw funds to focus on bi-lateral deals with nations instead to promote green development. The United Duchies has said "We see a complimentary role for EDA and GEF to focus on their core specialities and strengths and transform Europe with bold visionary big picture thinking without worrying about having to limit ambition by budget. We believe a structure encouraging additional donations from nations is critical to achieve the big changes needed to face the challenges of the future that can be achieved only through co-operation."
