The EU4Energy Action Steering Committee meeting, hosted by the Energy Community Secretariat, took place on 23 April in Vienna.
The partner organisations implementing the EU4Energy Programme in the six Eastern Neighbourhood and five Central Asia countries evaluated the EU4Energy actions over the last 12 months and adopted further actions for the next year under the different EU4Energy components.
The meeting was attended by high-level officials from the Energy Ministries of the 11 partner countries and the European Commission, as well as representatives of the implementing partners the International Energy Agency (IEA), Energy Community Secretariat, EU4Energy communication project and Energy Charter Secretariat.
The EU4Energy country coordinators from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Belarus expressed their high appreciation and satisfaction with the ongoing support provided by the Energy Charter Secretariat to strengthen the legislative and regulatory framework relating to energy and energy efficiency through the EU4Energy Governance component.
The EU4Energy programme aims to improve the quality of energy data and statistics, shape regional policy-making discussions, strengthen legislative and regulatory frameworks and improve access to information in the partner countries.
