Europe's energy union

A European Energy Union – a term coined by President of the Council Donald Tusk - is one of the flagship projects of the Junker Commission. Up to now speculation on the exact scope of the project was rife. On 29 January Bruegel organised Climate and Energy Talk on Europe's energy union with Commission Vice President Maroš Šefčovič. The timely presentation by Maroš Šefčovič – just three days after presenting his plan on the Creation of a European Energy Union to the European Parliament, was followed by comments by Simone Mori (ENEL) and Georg Zachmann (Bruegel) and a open discussion.
