EWEA - Oettinger and Hedegaard face European Parliament hearings this week

Mr Günther Oettinger (Germany) and Ms Connie Hedegaard (Denmark) will face a European Parliament hearing on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 January, as the final phase in their bids to become the European Energy and Climate Action Commissioners respectively. A strong performance this week could signal their future positions as the new heavy-weights shaping the European agenda for the building of a new, modern power system capable of meeting the energy and climate challenges of the 21st century.


Commissioners Piebalgs (Energy) and Dimas (Environment) have paved the way with crucial pieces of legislation, such as the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive and directives on reducing CO2.
