The Istituto Affari Internazionali and Edison launch the Energy Union Watch project for constant monitoring of the activities of the European institutions on the subject of the Energy Union. This is one of the most important initiatives launched by the Juncker Commission: it defines European energy policy by setting its priorities in fifteen action points and promotes over forty initiatives to improve the energy supply for European citizens.
The decisions and actions taken within the Energy Union have the objective of focusing the role of the European Union in the energy field and increasing the impact of Brussels' action on the sovereignty of individual member states in the matter and on the activity of companies operating in the energy sector.
The Energy Union Watch project will follow the action of the European institutions, the debate between the various stakeholders, both at national and European level, on the institutional evolution of the Energy Union and on the priorities for action. Finally, through analyses, comments and policy recommendations, the project aims to contribute to raising the awareness of institutional actors and main stakeholders on the subject of the Energy Union, also in light of the national perspectives and interests at stake, placing the emphasis on strategic projects , with particular attention to the Mediterranean.
The project – which involves the main European think tanks dealing with the Energy Union issue – includes the publication of a quarterly document in English which will also be distributed to the major European institutional interlocutors, as well as the organization of public events aimed at promoting the reflection on the contents drawn from the Watch of particular importance for the national and European debate.
