directives represent the highest

criteria are often included in urban development planning. But there is still considerable scope for improvement. EU directives represent the highest standards in this sense. The EU has previously organised a webinar to engage its GCC counterparts on energy efficiency in construction and urban development.

EU leaders should ensure that that was not a one-off exercise. หนังใหม่2025
