January 30, 2014A new EU framework to achieve a competitive, low-carbon economy for 2030 hasbeen announced. The ambitious policy for climate and energy aims to drive a 40%reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions against 1990 levels, whilst alsoestablishing a renewable energy target of a minimum of 27%. European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said “ Climate action is central for the future of ourplanet, while a truly European energy policy is key for our competitiveness”.

The aim is to achieve competitive, affordable and secure energy in Europe therebyreducing dependence on energy imports and creating new opportunities for growthand jobs.

Accompanying the Communication, a report on energy prices and costs in Europeproposes that cost effective policy, competitive markets and improved efficienciescould help mitigate increasing energy costs. Recognising the need for affordable energy, and drawing on a detailed analysis of energy prices and costs, theframework supports a coordinated approach by Member States and a favourableregulatory environment for investors to support the development of related newtechnologies.

The framework will be discussed at the European Council’s spring meeting on 20 –21 March ahead of the United Nations talks on global warming in 2015. Althoughreported as being opposed by the UK‘s energy and climate change secretary,representatives of Philips and Greenpeace, stated the agreement wasn’t far-reachingenough to support investment, innovation and the environment in Europe.
