Briefing - Governance of the energy union - 16-03-2018

Briefing - Governance of the energy union - 16-03-2018 19-03-2018 12:00 AM CET The Commission proposed a regulation on governance of the energy union, as part of its Clean Energy package (30 November 2016). The proposal aims to simplify the process of monitoring progress and addressing weaknesses in implementing the goals of Energy Union, in particular the 2030 EU targets on renewables, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. National energy and climate plans are to be prepared for the 2021-2030 period, followed by progress reports. Both plans and reports will use binding templates, and gain early input from the Commission. The proposed regulation envisages national and EU registries and inventories on greenhouse gas emissions for the post-2020 period as a means to assess progress in meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. The ITRE and ENVI committees produced a joint report, which was adopted on 7 December 2017. Parliament subsequently adopted a set of amendments to the proposal on 17 January 2018, which will serve as the basis for Parliament to enter into trilogue negotiations with the Council and the Commission. The Council adopted its general approach on 18 December 2017. Third edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.
