EU Parliament to Discuss Clean Energy

The European Parliament will have its first opportunity on December 13 to discuss legislative proposals to ensure clean energy for all Europeans with EU Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic. The package was presented by the commission on November 30.

The parliament had called for clean energy legislation in a June resolution, and in September had called for a renewables package too.

The Clean Energy for all Europeans package consists of several legislative proposals and three communications on the energy market, energy efficiency, renewables, eco-design and governance of the Energy Union. It was welcomed by European gas industry association Eurogas as an “an important piece in the legislative framework" towards achieving EU and global climate targets.
