Environment Commissioner Janez Potoā nik is launching a platform to provide high-level guidance and advice on policy measures designed to nudge the European economy towards a more sustainable path. The European Resource Efficiency Platform will provide direction and support in the EU's efforts to move towards a more resource-efficient economic system, focusing on the key resources, sectors and policy areas defined in the Roadmap to a resource-efficient Europe.
Resource efficiency, which provides the sustainability dimension of the Europe 2020 strategy, is a top priority for the European Commission, combining an environmental and climate policy agenda with key economic and social objectives. The intention is to combine the Platform's members' backgrounds and skills to provide useful guidance to the European Commission, Member States and market actors on resource efficiency.
The Platform is chaired by John Bruton, a former prime minister of Ireland and EU Ambassador to the US. Its 34 members include Commissioner Potoā nik, Vice-President Tajani, Commissioners Hedegaard, Šemeta and Rehn, four Members of the European Parliament, nine business leaders from various sectors, environment ministers from Denmark, Estonia, Italy, and Germany, and members of international organisations, civil society and academia.
15.00 Press conference by Commissioner Janez Potoā nik in the Berlaymont press room.
The first plenary meeting of the Platform will be held on 5 June 2012.
IP will be available on the day.
