Revisiting energy security in turbulent times
If the transition to low-carbon energy sources is deemed to improve Europe’s domestic energy supplies, the penetration of renewables in the energy mix also brings new operational challenges in terms of energy security. This raises questions about the role of energy efficiency in meeting final demand, how the EU’s energy policy can emphasise both supply security and energy efficiency.
Three challenges for tomorrow's EU migration policy: fairness, mobility and narratives
The paper highlights three important challenges for tomorrow’s EU migration policy and proposes measures to deal with them: First, ensure a sustainable and fair labour migration policy which is purposefully designed to take into account the needs of the origin countries, as well as the needs of the migrant workers themselves – in addition to the needs of the immigration countries. Second, increase mobility of third country nationals to and within the EU with a focus on the EU’s close neighbours. Third and finally, change public opinion towards immigration by building a new discourse and promoting it through mainstream media.
