“This is exactly how the European Union is helping us out of our economic crisis,” said Declan Waugh Green Party Candidate for Cork County Council “and this is exactly what our MEPs for Munster should be working towards.”
The €30 million fund is part of the Eco-innovation initiative, to support organisations that have developed an environmental product, service, management practice or process which has a proven track record, yet is not fully marketed due to residual risks.
“The Eco-innovation initiative is intended to overcome those barriers to further market penetration and turn these products and processes into Europe's future eco-innovation successes. Applications from SMEs are particularly encouraged.
"Munster badly needs this sort of funding, and it badly needs these kind of jobs. The funding is there in Europe, and the innovative small businesses are here in Cork. The missing piece is the political leadership to bring the two together. I will make it my business as a Munster MEP to provide this leadership,” said Senator Dan Boyle
Small and medium enterprises who wish to make an application for Eco-innovation funds should go to the relevant part of the European Commission website: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/eco-innovation/call_en.htm
