Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Initiatives in Wallonia: 0% Rate Loans, Green Certificates, and Tram Expansion
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-12-22 07:44:00
This morning, it was announced that 10,000 Walloon citizens might benefit from a 0-rate loan for their housing “to support the insulation of buildings”, recalls Philippe Henry. This measure will “reduce energy consumption without having to advance the money”. These bonuses, although accessible to all, will delight low-income households: “up to 6 times more premium when you have a very low income”.
“The objective is that all households who wish can carry out these renovations without being prevented by a financial nature but that they also have the necessary means, so we have set up local renovation platforms to move towards good professionals,” explains the minister. But, in the face of this success, there was a significant waiting period. The solution : green certificates in 2024which will make it possible to increase production in particular of photovoltaic panels, as well as bonuses during the wait.
Should we invest in photovoltaic panels in Belgium?
The Walloon minister then returned to the PFAS crisis, estimating that we are today in “the post-crisis of a few weeks ago but that we will have to follow this subject in the coming years”. For him, we must take measures at the source to reduce pollution and the emission of PFAS. “There is a real problem of pollution to take into account, that we must review the mode of industrial production, consumption, use of materials. There must be an awareness of all the population of these subjects”, declares Philippe Henry.
We also learned this morning that the cost of extensions of the Liège tram had exceeded 300 million euros. But for the Walloon minister, nothing alarming. “We had to work urgently on these extensions because we were constrained by the deadlines of the European recovery plan from which we have now exited, so we will be able to lower certain prices and bring the market into play,” he explains. For him, we should therefore not abandon this project or move to a less expensive version.
To conclude, Philippe Henry, who was neither at the top of the list nor in second place, reiterates his desire to support the Walloon government. “It’s true that I had long since felt that I preferred to be in concrete action like today.”

Bayern’s “Basta” Stance Against Super League: Strengthening National Leagues
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Bayern’s “Basta” remains!
The German record champions definitely do not want to take part in a possible Super League. Bayern boss Jan-Christian Dreesen (56) confirmed this following Thursday’s stunning ruling, according to which the path for the billion-dollar league would be legally clear. The initiators of the mega-project won a corresponding legal dispute once morest UEFA and FIFA before the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Super League? Without Bavaria!

Dreesen said in a statement on the Bayern homepage: “The door for the Super League at FC Bayern remains closed. The judgment does not change the attitude of FC Bayern and the attitude of the ECA (European Club Association, editor) that such a competition would represent an attack on the importance of the national leagues and the statics of European football.”
The home of the record champions remains the national league, emphasizes Dreesen: “The Bundesliga forms the foundation of FC Bayern, just as all national leagues represent the foundation of European football clubs. Therefore, it is our duty and our deep conviction to strengthen them, not weaken them.”
There is support from Bayern supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (68). In an interview with the Italian “Gazetta dello Sport” he spoke out once more once morest the Super League, but admitted: When the idea came up in spring 2021, he was very worried regarding European football!
Rummenigge, then chairman of the board: “You didn’t come to me. They tried Oliver Kahn, my designated successor at the time. Uli Hoeneß, President Herbert Hainer and I said: Never with us!”
Rummenigge explains: “I was worried. There were twelve of them, they had tried in vain to convince us and others, they were at the end of their strength. I thought: What if they really make a revolution? That would be pure chaos.”
From a purely legal perspective, the conditions for the Super League have now been created. But who should take part? In addition to Bayern, other top Bundesliga clubs such as Dortmund and Leipzig reject the project. Top clubs from England and France’s flagship club Paris Saint-Germain also speak out once morest it.
And that before Christmas… There has never been such a Mbappé moment!
