Energy and structural and cohesion policies

This note seeks to examine the implications, challenges and proposals that affect structural and cohesion policies in the context of current energy policy. Given the repercussions of the increase in fuel costs, many policies are directly affected, including agricultural, transport, fisheries and regional policy. The energy scenario surrounding structural and cohesion policies is a complex one that requires all synergies to interact in order to make European energy policy efficient and competitive and ensure that its supply is secure.
