The Energy-Climate package in Europe for 2020-2030: the ETUC's priorities for a Just Transition

(23 October 2014) The ETUC Executive Committee has finally adopted the Resolution “The Energy-Climate package in Europe for 2020-2030: the ETUC’s priorities for a Just Transition”.
You will find the full text approved in attachment. Given the important decision which is expected from the European Council this week, the document has been sent already to the Permanent Representations of Member States here in Brussels. Please do not hesitate to circulate it through your own networks.

EPSU has contributed intensively to the document and we are satisfied with the result. We have specifically argued for more investments, creation of new jobs, right to energy and for workers participation. We have taken the position that the energy community needs to be a democratic one. With a Commission vice-president for the energy union, Mr. Sefkovic, we can expect that this project moves forward and we have high expectations.

EPSU will continue to work with ETUC in the same spirit in the future; first and foremost in the context of the upcoming legislative initiatives taken by the Commission to implement the 2030 framework, as well as towards the Climate Conference in December 2015 in Paris.
