MED-EMIP Experts' Group / Steering Committee meeting   4/5/2009
MED-EMIP is organising the first Experts' Group / Steering Committee meeting in Brussels on 4 -5 May 2009 which will discuss important energy related issues that are of common interest between EU and MPCs. The MED-EMIP project aims at enhancing the integration of energy markets in the Euro-Med region and promotes improved energy security and sustainability. It equally supports the transfer of knowledge on renewable energy related issues, thus encouraging its use in the Mediterranean Partners Countries (MPCs). The project is establishing a regional platform for energy policy dialogues and exchanges of experiences on secure energy supplies, diversified energy sources and reduction of environmental impact of energy related activities. MED-EMIP is working in close cooperation with the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and has been mandated by the European Commission to ensure the overall coordination of the ongoing study on the strategy towards a Mediterranean Solar Plan. Moreover, the Commission as well as a number of MPCs requested the update the MEDRING study.
