“If the ESCS was negotiated today… a new European Energy Community”

“If the ECSC was negotiated today…a new European Energy Community” is a three day conference that will take place a Rome from the 18^th to the 21^th of June.

Its aim is to bring students aware of the importance that a European energy policy had in the past, as start up engine of the integration process, as well as the importance that it has today in solving thorny problems like climate change, growing dependence on imports and oil’s price rising.

The fact that the Energy Policy is still not an exclusive EU competence and important steps in this direction have been made since last year only, will give to the students the possibility to work for a strategic living matter at EU level and this will surely give them a particular enthusiasm. It is not difficult to imagine that, during the negotiations for a new European Energy Community, an original solution to the energy problem will rise in order to give an important contribution to the real decision-making process in this field.
