I supported the 2018 discharge as there were no specific objections on how the EU budget was used by the Joint Undertaking in question. Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier and the work performed by the JU is remarkable when it comes to bring new solutions into to the European market. Ensuring the discharge means continuing the activity and in the future we will have to enhance our commitment in this sector, seen also the plans for a new strategy dedicated to hydrogen that the Commission plans to adopt in the next months.
