Prepare a proposal for Europe’s long-term strategy for submission to the United Nations Framework for the Climate Change Convention. The Commission has also just released the first tangible documents on the European Green Deal that will shape all upcoming policy initiatives at EU level.


The Green Deal Communication and its Annex outline the actions that the Commission will take in the next months and years. These actions will notably boost building renovations and accelerate the deployment of renewable energies as well as electromobility solutions. They will create growth and open up new business opportunities for companies operating in the electrotechnical sector. The most relevant initiatives announced by the European Commission are:


Climate Neutrality & Energy


It’s vital we play a part in shaping European policy in climate change, the adoption of renewable tech and e-mobility


ignore what the European Commission is planning. Indeed, much of it aligns with the views of the UK and Scottish Government in terms


of carbon reduction targets designed to mitigate the effects of climate change, the growth of renewable technologies and moves to electrify transportation. Most recently, EU heads of state and


government met in Brussels to discuss the European Commission strategic vision for a climate neutral Europe by 2050. Presidents and prime ministers endorsed the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Only Poland declared that they


cannot commit to implementing this objective, so at the EU Summit in June 2020 there will be another discussion about climate neutrality and specifically about Poland’s position. The Commission will: Propose a ‘European Climate Law’, possibly in March 2020, to make the climate neutrality objective binding


 Propose plan for moving the 2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction target which is currently set at 40% up to 50% or even 55% in summer 2020 Propose revision of relevant legislation to deliver on increased climate ambition, including Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Directives by June 2021 Present a strategy for smart sector integration in 2020, including electricity, heating, gas, transport and industry Engage with Member States in a ‘renovation wave’ of public and private buildings, and work with stakeholders on a new initiative to address barriers to renovation in 2020 Review the Construction Products Regulations, “to ensure that design of new and renovated buildings is in line with the needs of the circular economy”
