On 15 of October 2013 youth organization «European movement for Ukraine» and the Embassy of the Republic of Austria organized a meeting with the Deputy Ambassador Mr.Johannes Eigner and representatives of civil society of Ukraine in the Austrian Embassy.
The theme of the discussion was «Using of alternative sources of energy in Austria: experience for Ukraine».The main goal of the discussion was to understand the place of renewable sources of energy in the economy of Austria, its main advantages over traditional type of energy and why Ukraine should develop it.
Mr. Johannes Eigner told everything about the renewable sources of energy in Austria in particular about the state policy, local use of alternative sources of energy and its role in Austria. We estimated the pros and cons of such type of energy and all agreed that it should be widely used both in Austria and Ukraine.
Since the youth organization «European movement for Ukraine» represents the younger generation of Ukrainians who support the integration of Ukraine to the European Union it was very useful to get to know the ways of using and implementing the alternative sources of energy which is important for energy independence of Ukraine.
