Outcomes of the Spring European Council

AUTHORS: Carolina Valsecchi

EU Policy Briefing – 16 March 2007 

The EU Heads of State and Government met in Brussels on 8 and 9 March for the annual review of the Lisbon and better regulation agendas, and to approve a much awaited Energy Policy for Europe (EPE).

In particular, within the Lisbon agenda review, the Council included a statement on the importance of environmental technologies and eco-innovation towards achieving the aims of the Lisbon Strategy, including combating climate change. Member States stated that they are determined to ‘promote eco-innovations through an ambitious approach, taking full advantage of lead markets in areas such as sustainable and safe low carbon technologies, renewable energies and energy and resource efficiency’. Commission proposals for achieving an integrated strategy for the promotion of ecoinnovation can be expected in early 2008.
