monitoring
of EU Policy.
Read about the proposals content,
status, and eventual INFORSE-Europe positions
to the proposal. Updates are also published in the Sustainable Energy
News.
This is not an exhaustive list, since so many elements of EU policy have effects
on how sustainable European energy supply and use will be.
