Obstacles to European RES crowdfunding
Excessive regulatory and administrative burdens prevent the set-up of EU wide
crowdfunding platforms for citizens’ investment;
The legal uncertainty for citizens’ cross-border investment due to the variety of national
regulatory systems;
The uneven playing across EU member states regarding the public support and visibility of
RES projects and tax incentives for citizens’ investment.
