year = {2017},
note = {The legislative package “Clean Energy for All Europeans” tabled by
the European Commission aims at structuring the framework for climate
and energy policies by 2030. Key element of the package is the energy
governance regulation which focuses on a better coordination of
national energy policies. Despite the recourse to the soft method of
open coordination, the regulation contains elements of a more binding
nature, potentially leading to the point of intervening in the
national energy mix of member states. In contrast, the draft
regulation bundles planning and reporting obligations to increase
their political effectiveness and economic efficiency. With this
proposal, the Commission walks a fine line: Member states will only
accept the binding elements of the proposal once the associated
benefits in terms of political effectiveness and economic efficiency
prevail. Our contribution analyses these criteria and discusses in how
far the proposal is suited to deliver a tangible contribution to
Europe’s energy and climate goals for 2030.},
