On November 15, REEF had the privilege of meeting Joan Canton, Member of the Cabinet of Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the Internal Market. During this session, REEF explored collaborative pathways to accelerate Europe’s energy transition.  

REEF’s engagement continued with a meeting with Tinne van der Straeten, Belgian Minister for Energy. Here discussions delved into potential focal points for the Belgium EU Council Presidency in the first half of 2024, aligning efforts for a sustainable and resilient energy future. 

The day concluded with the Second EU Clean Energy Dialogue, where REEF engaged with Maroš Šefčovič at Berlaymont. This dialogue provided a platform to influence European Action Plans on Wind Power and Electricity Grid.
