“The show must go on!” – this is the approach of Mr. Frans Timmermans, the EU Commission executive vice-president in charge with the Green Deal; officially, that means that the EU policies will continue indifferent at the coronavirus crisis. However, this is not going to happen, considers Maciej Jakubik, Executive Director at Central Europe Energy Partners (CEEP).
“The Green Deal package will change significantly and so it will happen with the timelines”, he said at EnergynomicsTalk, in an interview recorded a week ago. The green energy transition will go on, as it is driven by many more elements than mere the political or administrative factors, Jakubik said, but for the next 2-3 years, the Green Deal will not be the political priority for the member states, and the EU Commission will have to also revise it.
