I’ve been close to business…
I’m a bit less today…
What do I think? Some simplification needed…

First: We aren’t in the same world…
• 1 Scarce and pricey fossil fuel
• 2 An internal market for competing CCGTs… or for fed-in RES
• 3 Green revolution, green manufacturing leadership, green jobs
• 4 Putting a price on carbon everywhere
• 5 Fossil fuel pricey but “suppliers secure enough”
Too much significant assumptions gone to not reformulate the frame of our EU energy policy… so 2030 could’nd be 30-30-30… after 20-20-20
5
At least 3 challenges for EU …
• 1/ 28 national ways from 20-20-20 to 2030: could it lead the EU somewhere?
• 2/ The energy policy governance: any appropriate framework for a “Towards 2030” EU energy policy?
• 3/ External energy security and policy: at least some Energy Union… or only Energy disunion?
>> Contrasting a “mini” & a “maxi” option for each issue
28 national “target sets” from 20-20-20 to 2030: could it lead EU somewhere?
• End 2007 triple “20” targets: Hence less “EU” and more “renationalisation” of energy targets?
• 1/ - 2030 Target “mini”:
• exiting RES priority (RES biding only “ at EU level”)
• Preparing a gentle phasing-out od feed-in tariffs
• … and scaling back to carbon containment with GHG Cap for each EU country
>> See Stern& Calderon report for UN (before Lima) :
>> they call for fossil subsidy full phasing out + progressive coal ban + some R&D and Green funding …

28 national “target sets” to 2030: could it lead EU somewhere?
• 2/ - 2030 Target “maxi ” but within Club “of the willing”: energy efficiency target (incl. circular economy & shared economy)…
• 1- doesn’t touch national energy mix (hence: the willing)
• 2- has “growth support” flavor (UK past – GER future)
• 3- time for national action plans (GER Eur70 bn till 2020)
• 4- common EU business models ? Or none? What market & regulation principles + organization of financing & bankability if no “EU frame”?
• 5- some funds taken from Juncker Eur300bn?
8
The governance: any appropriate framework for new 2030 EU policy?
• 28 ways to go to 2030: could Commission monitor it with existing (Internal Market) + (Competition tool box)?
• 1/ - 2030 Governance “mini”: do not worry; be EU market happy… EC has all needed weaponry in Internal Market & Competition Policy
• no need to do more than all RES in an open market;
• all capacity mechanisms being DG Comp compliant;
• all retail market and demand response being Internal Market & DG Comp compliant
9
The governance: any appropriate framework for new 2030 EU policy?
• 2/ - 2030 Governance “maxi”: do not dream
• you cannot frame a demanding non-market issue like GHG & growth sustainability only with market-related tools while even EU ETS does not give a good carbon price
• time come to discuss a new comprehensive governance equipped with new ad-hoc policy power vis-à-vis any national combination of (GHG / Fuel Mix / Market Rules / & Ener. Efficiency) negative at EU level
• It is: a full fledge “Energy Union”
10
External energy security and policy: some Energy Union… or only disunion?
• 1/ External energy “mini”: our best friends to get the max from external energy are our twin internal markets / gas & power… … the more flows will flow and arbitrage work the best possible we will get
• 2/ External energy “mini+”: EU internal markets will give us their best only when integrating all our external borders …
• interconnections planning… & unbundling …access & tariffs
• supply bilateral agreements & contracts compliant with Trade, IntMark& Comp. Policies / or/ pushed towards more SoS (a la Tusk / Oettinger)
• integration between EU Internal markets and Energy Community markets
11
External energy security and policy: some Energy Union… or only disunion?
• 3/ External energy “maxi”: only an Energy Union with due and substantial powers would put EU on track for external energy security
• EU external energy security is too close from “hard security affairs” that touch key MS sovereign powers….
• The challenges faced today by EU for its energy security is as big as “European Defense Community “and “European Coal and Steel Community” have been in the 50’…[Jacques Delors; Helmut Kohl last month…]
• But a BIG BUT: how to get there…
12
2030 challenges: Conclusion?
# Flexible EU target frame with “room” for national plans & national strategies: from new gas (Poland; Cyprus) to nuclear (UK) to off-shore wind and energy efficiency (Germany)
# and weak “EU target governance”
# even weakest “EU market external borders policy”
>> resulting in an EU “as weak as before” (before Berlin Council Spring 2007)?
13
In brief: a lot of change & of workexpected; or none >> back to the EU ‘non-energy policy’ era 1974-2004?
