Last Friday 23 March, the students of the Energy Group of the Keynes promotion presented the outcome of their year-long project, the White Paper on Good Practices in the Fields of Environment and Energy in the EU Member States, at the European Parliament. Culminating one year of work and having been awarded the European Charlemagne Youth Prize for Belgium in 2017, the White Paper reviews the best practices in environmental and energy regulation across the EU, in an aim of identifying best practices that could and would deserve to be replicated across the Union.
The event was opened by the European Energy Policy Chair of the College of Europe, Professor Dirk BUSCHLE, as well as by the Head of the European Parliament Information Office in Belgium, Mr Rolf FALTER, and was attended by alumni and current students of the College, MEP assistants, practitioners in the fields of environment and energy, as well as by the general public.
