Abstract

Substituting fossil fuels has been a prominent issue in the EU in recent years. Energy security, agricultural and environmental considerations have all played a part in the development of alternative fuels and in the creation of incentives promoting their use. The system, like big systems in general, cannot react to new developments quickly and it seems there are elements that we should seriously consider removing or replacing to avoid adverse effects. This paper will attempt to summarize the current issues and propose possible solutions in the form of seven recommendations to make the European incentive system more effective in the interest of sustainable rural development, an area that is of prime importance for Hungary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A fosszilis üzemanyagok kiváltását az elmúlt években az EU kiemelt témaként kezelte. Az ener¬giabiztonság, valamint az agrárgazdasági és környezeti megfontolások mind szerepet játszottak az alternatív üzemanyagok kifejlődésben éppúgy, mint a használatukat elősegíteni hivatott támogatások életre hívásában. A kialakult rendszer, mint a nagy rendszerek általában, jelen formájában nem reagál kellő gyorsasággal az új fejleményekre, valamint olyan elemeket foglal magában, melyeket célszerű lenne felülvizsgálni, illetve helyettesíteni a káros hatások elkerülése érdekében. Jelen cikk célja ezen problémák összefoglalásán túl olyan javaslatok megfogalmazása, melyek egy olyan támogatási rendszer felé mutatnak, ami agrárgazdasági szempontból is kedvezőbb a jelenleginél.
