Brussels, 24 June 2024
President Martin Bursik and Director Prof. Dr. Dörte Fouquet launched EREF recommendations for a fast transformation to a renewable-based and efficient EU energy system as support to the new European Commission and the new co legislators in the European Parliament.

Requesting 5 priorities including recommendations for action for next institutional cycle, EREF’s recommendations call for the ambitious and full implementation of the European Green Deal and a clear pathway for its continuation until 2040 as the best way to achieve resilience, competitiveness, and energy independence of the EU.
Dörte Fouquet points to results of several EU-wide and national surveys such as the Germanwatch survey that a broad electoral majority is in favour of appropriate political responses to the climate crisis in many EU countries, including in centre-right parties.
Martin Bursik reminds politicians from centre-right parties about their responsibilities to continue the Green Deal that they have started under EU President Ursula von der Leyen: “The Green Deal provides the tools to set a new track towards secure and affordable energy, quality jobs and sustainable industrial competitiveness. Use and enhance them!”.
