"The report looks at how the financial and economic crisis has affected financial support by public authorities for renewable energy in six EU countries (Germany, Spain, Italy, UK, Sweden and Bulgaria). The report provides mixed answers to the question. The same overall European framework results in practice in very different policies in different countries. This argues for a significant loss of homogeneity in European integration. As has been seen in other areas, widening gaps are placing question marks over any planned EU policy." (Quoted from paper)
