Welcome
Claeys & Casteels proudly presents the 7th edition of the EU Energy Law & Policy Conference in Brussels on 31 January and 1 February 2012. This conference, widely recognized as the most important energy event on the Brussels Calendar, once more brings together all key policy makers, regulators, top market players and leading lawyers to give a unique insight in all major and hot topics in the energy field. Energy is, more than ever, at the forefront of the European Calendar. The call to work on a fully integrated Internal Energy market can simply not be ignored If Europe does not succeed to realize an Internal Energy Market within a few years time, a major energy crisis might be the result. Not only the Internal Energy Market is an essential topic, but also the new Infrastructure investments, the security of supply, the greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency by at least twenty percent in 2020. As EU Commissioner for Energy Gunther Oettinger recently wrote in the European Energy Journal (EEJ), 'the global energy system entered a phase of unpredictable transition with potentially far-reaching implications for the next decades, I strongly believe that our five pillars strategy offers us the needed guidance for the years to come'. The goal for the EU is to realize a sustainable, highly efficient, productive and carbon neutral economy that the European Union needs to become by 2050. To achieve that goal, the Member States should achieve first another goal, which is the much discussed 2020 Energy Strategy. At the 7th Edition of the EU Energy Law & Policy Conference all major topics which are part of the 2020 Energy Strategy will be discussed: Confirmed speakers include:
Lord John Mogg (President CEER), Philip Lowe (Director General, DG Energy), Jos Delbeke (Director General Climate Action), Jean-Michel Glachant (Director of the Florence School of Regulation), Jean-Arnold Vinois (Acting Director Internal Energy Market, DG ENER), Constantin Staschus ( Secretary General ENTSO E), Mechtild Woersdoerfer (Head of Unit, Energy Policy, DG ENER), Catherine Sikow-Magny (Head of Unit, Internal Market, DG ENER), Inge Bernaerts (Head of Unit, Internal Market ll, DG ENER) Pierre Bernard (Secretary General ELIA Group), Christopher Burghardt (Managing Director Europe, First Solar), Dörte Fouquet (Director European Renewable Energies Federation (EREF)), Lars Kjolbye (partner Covington, Brussels), Celine Gauer (Head of Unit, Antitrust, Energy Environment, DG COMP), Leigh Hancher (professor at Law, Tilburg University) and Nicola Pesaresi (Head of Unit, State Aids and Scrunity, DG COMP).
