BACKGROUND:
On 30 November 2016, the European Commission published a comprehensive legislative package entitled 'Clean Energy for all Europeans' (or “Winter Package”) as part of its ongoing Energy Union initiative, which will reform some of the central pieces of EU energy legislation.
As part of this package, the Commission adopted the following proposals:
As the Energy Union is part of the CoR's Subsidiarity Work Programme 2017; members of the Subsidiarity Monitoring Network have been asked to contribute to the subsidiarity and proportionality analysis on relevant aspects of the Commission's proposals.
The outcome of the consultation will be forwarded to Bruno Hranic (HR/EPP), rapporteur on Energy Union Governance, Michiel Rijsberman (NL/ALDE) rapporteur on Energy efficiency and performance of buildings and Daiva Matoniene (LT/ECR) rapporteur on renewable energy and electricity market. The rapporteurs will be able to take account of the outcome of the consultation for the drafting of their opinions.
