Helmut Schmitt von Sydow on "Energy Union" for the European Union

The Vienna Forum is a joint initiative between the Florence School of Regulation and the Energy Community Secretariat and is designed to highlight issues topical both for the EU and the Energy Community.This year’s Forum is divided into 3 sessions. In the first session, representatives from the Commission, the Energy Community and academia discuss the newly created EU’s Energy Union, its future role and its relevance to the Energy Community. The second session centers on decarbonisation and renewable policies. In particular, we discuss the optimal design of RES support schemes and national experiences with certificate markets. The third session addresses law enforcement in the Energy Community. The seminar closes with a roundtable discussion “Ukraine – an Energy Hotspot” bringing together energy regulators, investors, and experts in foreign affairs, diplomacy and the EU-Ukraine energy relations.00 Welcome and introduction00a Dirk Buschle | Energy Community Secretariat00b  Keynote speech, The Energy Community – the new pan-European energy governance, Helmut Schmitt von Sydow | University of Lausanne01 Session 1 Energy – The State of the Union.
