Abstract
From its origins, the Member States of the European Union (EU) have demonstrated the need for strategic energy measures. As it did with the 1952 Coal and Steel Treaty and the 1957 Euratom Treaty, designing a strong economic area, although it was based on the promotion of a decadent and unsustainable energy. Today, we are facing an EU, which climate policy is far from the original one, with a plausible objective: to give priority to energy efficiency while making its own path through the international community, designing key, competitive and sustainable measures, contributing significantly to the new international climate regime under the Paris Agreement. However the adoption of the European Green Deal, will change the EU energy approach once again.
