MURIEL-CICERI, José Hernán. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FROM FINANCIAL SUPPORTMECHANISMS FOR THE GENERATION OF GREEN ENERGY, AND EUROPEAN UNIONLAW, THE ÁLANDS VINDKRAFT CASE. Int. Law: Rev. Colomb. Derecho Int. [online]. 2017, n.31, pp.115-160. ISSN 1692-8156.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.il15-31.pama.

The protection ofthe environment and the consolidation of sustainable development in the market are simultaneously achievable, and constitute part of the foundation of European law. This law highlights their viability, in the area of financial mechanisms that support the production of renewable energy in an effort to address climate change. The harmony of these mechanisms, provided, for example, in Directive2009I28IEC and its adoption by the Member States of the European Union with the free movement of goods, is analyzed by the Court of Justice in the case of Alands Vindkraft AB v. Energimyndigheten (C-573I12). In this case, the Court highlighted how compatibility among the climate, green energy production and the development of the market is a necessity. In this area, the European Commission has proposed to the Parliament and the Council a framework and package of measures, which they will implement together, based on their functions, in accordance with the provisions of European law.

Keywords : Green electricity; support schemes for green electricity production; green certificates; measures ofcooperation; European Union Law; free movement ofgoods; market balance; principle ofproportionality; Alands Vindkraft.
