The Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union is approaching its final and decisive stages. After that, a thorough review of the whole process is of course needed. We invite you to join us on 21 December in Tallinn to discuss the main takeaways from our Presidency in the field of energy.

The conference will kick off with a presentation by our Brussels team. They will share their first-hand impressions about the whole process of finding a compromise among member states in difficult negotiations on Clean Energy Package.

This is followed by an engaging panel discussion on how well the Estonian Presidency performed and what the long term implications of these decisions are. The discussion between Kaja Kallas (European Parliament), Ando Leppiman and Thor-Sten Vertmann (Estonian Presidency) is led by Lauri Tammiste (Stockholm Environment Institute).

We will hear from Jesse Scott about the outcomes of IEA’s two brand new reports. The presentation of IEA’s flagship World Energy Outlook 2017 will provide us with valuable insights about global trends in energy. She will also present the main conclusions from the first-ever comprehensive effort to depict how digital technologies could transform the world's energy systems - the Digitalization & Energy report.

In a similar vein, a panel of experts, featuring Sandor Liive (GridIO), Megan Richards (European Commission), Georg Rute (Elering), Jesse Scott (IEA), Laurent Schmitt (ENTSO-E) and Timo Tatar (Estonian Presidency) will discuss the relevance and follow-up of the Tallinn e-Energy declaration, signed by 29 EU/EEA member states, European Commission and 25 EU business associations.

The event is open for registration.

For questions, comments or concerns please contact the conference organisers at the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications.

Ests voorzitterschap Europese Unie 2e helft 2017

Van 1 juli tot en met 31 december 2017 vervulde Estland i het voorzitterschap i van de Raad van de Europese Unie i. Estland was de opvolger van Malta i. Het was de eerste keer dat dit land het voorzitterschap bekleedde. Belangrijke prioriteiten voor Estland waren de interne markt en de digitale interne markt in het bijzonder, de energie-unie en de verdere integratie van Oost-Europese landen in de Europese Unie. Ook wilde Estland tijdens het voorzitterschap online oplossingen en informatievoorziening in het Europees beleid promoten.

Het thema van het Ests voorzitterschap was "Unity through Balance". Er was veel aandacht voor de relatie van de mens met de natuur en voor de uitdagingen en mogelijkheden die nieuwe technologieën met zich meebrengen.
