Ziga: Gov't refused to adopt stance on renewable energy sources act

The Government hasn't yet adopted a stance on the opposition-sponsored amendments to the Renewable Energy Sources Support Act and Highly Effective Combined Production Act, designed to prevent the incineration of quality timber, Economy Minister Peter Ziga (Smer-SD) said after the Government session on Wednesday. According to Ziga, the motion was ill-phrased from a technical standpoint. "Despite its probable good intentions, the Parliament poorly formulated the amendment. If the motion had been shepherded through the House in its first reading, as proposed by MPs, the bill would have been unworkable.
