This week the European Commission launched the much-awaited Energy Union package.
The Commission Vice-President for Energy Union, Maroš Šefčovič, said it was “the most ambitious European energy project since the Coal and Steel Community. A project that will integrate our 28 European energy markets into one Energy Union, make Europe less energy dependent and give the predictability that investors so badly need to create jobs and growth.”
The launch of the Energy Union package is, however, merely the start of an intense period of policy-making and legislative activity in the field of energy and climate action – a period of change with implications for nearly every sector of Europe’s economy.
