On 4 May, European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union
Maroš Šefčovič will bring the second Energy Union Tour to Belgium.
Šefčovič will hold a ministerial meeting with the Belgian Federal and
Regional Energy Ministers of Energy. Belgium’s long-term energy and
climate vision will be at the heart of the discussion.
“Europe is forging ahead with the clean energy transition,” Šefčovič
said ahead of the visit. “Whether it is with politicians, energy
stakeholders or citizens, I look forward to discussing how it can be
best driven in Belgium. The Energy Union is more than energy and climate
alone. It is about accelerating the fundamental modernisation of
Europe’s entire economy, making it low-carbon, energy and resource
efficient, in a socially fair manner. In this context, I particularly
welcome on-going efforts by Belgian leaders to join forces for a Belgian
Energy Pact,” Šefčovič added.
The Commission Vice-President will also engage with Members of the
different Parliaments, together with civil society stakeholders, in the
Federal Parliament for a debate on the implementation of the EU’s 2030
energy and climate framework, the Energy Union governance, including the
preparation of the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans, and
the Commission’s Clean Energy for All Europeans package from November
2016.
In Antwerp, Šefčovič will take part in the Citizens Dialogue “How the
EU can finance cities to become smart cities?” and delivers a keynote
address.
