To avoid a patchwork of cybersecurity rules for essential services and critical infrastructures, regulators must ensure that the criteria of proportionality, harmonisation and efficiency are always at the core of the development of current and future cybersecurity legislation.
In reaction to increased energy prices, some EU Member States have put in place or are considering temporary national measures and suggest various fundamental reforms to the design of European wholesale energy markets. Europex is concerned that some measures may damage the competitiveness and efficiency of the Internal Energy Market.
As Europe’s primary policy tool to combat climate change, the review of the EU ETS plays a fundamental role in delivering the EU’s ambitious 2030 and 2050 decarbonisation targets and broader Green Deal objectives.
