General EU Framework Romania’s priorities – in line with EU’s energy&climate goals The communication from the Commission entitled “Energy infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond — A Blueprint for an integrated European energy network”, followed by the Council conclusions of 28 February 2011 and the European Parliament resolution, called for a new energy infrastructure policy to optimize network development at European level for the period up to 2020 and beyond, in order to allow the Union to meet its core energy policy objectives of competitiveness, sustainability and security of supply. Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of The European Parliament and Council of April 17, 2013, on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure defines, up to 2020 and beyond, about 12 trans-European corridors and thematic areas of priority covering the electricity and gas grids and the transmission infrastructure of oil and CO2 as well: corridors : electricity – 4 + gas – 4 + oil – 1 and 3 thematic areas :Smart grids deployment, Electricity Highways, Cross-border CO2 network
