Energy Union: First Draft Conclusions

Tuesday, 14 April 2015

On 8 June, EU Energy Ministers will discuss the European Energy Union. To prepare their meeting, several rounds of drafting the conclusions are taking place. The first draft conclusions were circulated to the delegations on 10 April.

The draft deals with the ‘Implementation of the Energy Union: empowering consumers and attracting investments in the energy sector’. The first part covers the consumer-oriented implementation of the Energy Union, the second part is about promoting investments required for implementation of the Energy Union. Both parts apply to ‘all five dimensions of the Energy Union’.  

Energy efficiency and security for energy supply remain keywords in EU actions.

In order to continue building an Energy Union on the basis of the Commission's framework strategy, the draft ends with next steps and an annex with a timetable.
