On Tuesday 25 May 2021, the president of the European Alliance to Save Energy Monica Frassoni took part in the webinar “Recovery Fund e Green Deal: quale transizione energetica per la Ue?” organised by Eunews, an Italian media reporting on political affairs of the European Union.
In her intervention, Monica Frassoni mentioned the importance of setting European and national energy and climate targets. She also underlined the key role to attract green investments that will be played by the Taxonomy, the EU classification system for sustainable investments, and the Fit for 55 legislative package that the European Commission is preparing to present on 14 July.
The other speakers were Martina Nardi, Member of the Italian Parliament and President of the Committee on Productive Activities; MEP Massimiliano Salini (EPP), Member of the ITRE Committee of the European Parliament; and Hans Van Steen, Adviser: Research and Innovation and Energy Efficiency, Dg Energy, European Commission.
In a fast-changing political and economic environment, 2025 was a year of continued efforts to strengthen security, stability, and competitiveness for European businesses.
Throughout the year, our work demonstrated that energy efficiency is not only essential to achieving climate goals, but also a key driver of innovation, energy independence and sustainable long-term growth across Europe.
Strong engagement with policymakers, combined with the successful organisation of the 4th European Energy Efficiency Day, highlighted the importance of collaboration and dialogue in advancing shared objectives. Partnerships across sectors and institutions remained central to delivering impact and shaping effective energy policies.
Looking ahead to 2026, we will intensify our efforts to secure the regulatory certainty that can accelerate the energy transition, while providing businesses with the investment confidence they need and strengthening Europe’s competitiveness.
