Joris den Blanken on EU 2030 Climate and Energy Framework Seminar
Channel: IIEA
Date: 05/06/2013

About the Speech:
 
The EU is currently grappling with what kind of climate and energy framework it wants post-2020 and the European Commission launched a consultation paper on this topic in March. Should the EU replicate the formula of the Climate and Energy Package to 2020 or is there another approach that might be more appropriate? 
This seminar explored some of the key issues for consideration, including: what kinds of targets would be most effective; how to ensure policy coherence; how competitiveness can be maintained; how the internal energy market can be best protected; and how the burden of decarbonisation can be best shared between Member States.
The seminar cames just days after a scheduled discussion on the topic at a joint meeting of EU Energy and Environment Ministers in Dublin.
This seminar was kindly supported by Shell.
