2030 ENERGY-CLIMATE PACKAGE : « 2030 package : A pragmatic shift in focus for Energy & Climate policies »

Robert Durdilly’s speech – High Level Conference – Egmont Institute – Brussels – 2014 December 3rd

The most important lesson learned from the 2020 package is that if the EU wants an effective energy and climate policy, it has to be comprehensive and not simply tied to sustainability. Means of achieving economic sustainability in terms of competitiveness and security of supply must also be taken into account. Following the conclusions of the European Cuncil on the 2030 Climate and Energy Framework in October 2014, the High Level Conference discussed whether or not this new framework can achieve these objectives.
