The Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, Mr Janez Jansa, today commented on some of the most topical European and domestic issues. On this occasion the PM pointed to the legislative package on energy and climate change presented the day before by the European Commission.
The Prime Minister outlined, in brief, the proposed legislative package on energy and climate change – one of the priorities of the Slovenian EU Council Presidency. Mr Jansa said that Slovenia welcomed the European Commission’s proposal, as it was one of the most important legislative packages of the European Union of the beginning of the 21st century. The presented energy and climate change package comprises both paths proposed in order to reach the set objectives, as well as specific commitments made by the Member States. “Ahead of us now is a fairly demanding period of coordination and procedures involving Slovenia as the Member State holding the EU Council Presidency," said the Prime Minister, highlighting the sensitive issue of debating energy and climate change, in particular on account of the diverse views held by the Member States, especially regarding the use of nuclear energy.
