East European states urge EU fund flexibility for industry

Original: East European states want more EU fund flexibility to support industry as energy prices rise

Governments in Central and Eastern Europe are calling on the European Union to loosen rules on how EU funds can be spent, so they can support domestic industries struggling with rising energy prices. The push reflects concern that high energy costs are eroding industrial competitiveness across the region, and that existing EU funding frameworks are too rigid to respond quickly.

Why now: Rising energy prices are putting pressure on industry, prompting East European governments to seek urgent flexibility in EU funding rules.
