Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy

EU energy ministers are attending an informal meeting in Bratislava this week to discuss steering and monitoring mechanisms for the European Energy Union, sustainable financing structures for low-carbon technologies, energy prices and energy supply security. Energy state secretary Rainer Baake who represents the German government said Europe needed to prove its capability to act and its reliability in the Energy Union project. The national energy and climate plans needed to include a European-wide monitoring of the progress made in reaching the Energy Union’s targets, including the 2030 climate targets, he said.
