Vienna Forum 2015 00a Introduction - Dirk Buschle | Energy Community Secretariat - a podcast by Florence School of Regulation

The Vienna Forum is a joint initiative between the Florence School of Regulation and the Energy Community
Secretariat and is designed to highlight issues topical both for the EU and the Energy Community.
This year’s Forum is divided into 3 sessions. In the first session, representatives from the Commission, the Energy
Community and academia discuss the newly created EU’s Energy Union, its future role and its relevance to the
Energy Community. The second session centers on decarbonisation and renewable policies. In particular, we discuss
the optimal design of RES support schemes and national experiences with certificate markets. The third session
addresses law enforcement in the Energy Community. The seminar closes with a roundtable discussion “Ukraine – an
Energy Hotspot” bringing together energy regulators, investors, and experts in foreign affairs, diplomacy and the
EU-Ukraine energy relations.
