Why should we pay for the EAC’s mistakes

I have just read that the price of electricity is to rise because EAC have got it ever so slightly wrong on carbon emissions, and got fined by the EU.

Please excuse my ignorance, but if a fine is imposed on somebody then surely that is their responsibility.

So how/why do they think they have a commitment to pass it on to us, their mere servants?
Equally, they blame the Government for bureaucratic delays. Ok, so I’ll buy that as I have suffered from it a few times. In that case, maybe, it is the bureaucrats that should be footing the bill instead of us.

Seriously, the EAC getting fined has absolutely nothing to do with the consumer; but at the end of the day we are the poor mugs that are going to have to pay for their cock-up.
Sympathy factor – zero!

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
