Interview with Lionel Platteuw, Executive Director of EU-Nited, on resource and energy efficiency.

Conducted on the fringes of an EurActiv Stakeholder Workshop, organised by Fondation EurActiv with the support of the Nickel Institute.

Existing technologies, if correctly implemented, have the capacity to dramatically increase energy efficiency and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The potential is significantly bigger than that what is currently being committed to by EU institutions and member states. Innovative technologies however still need support to secure financing as well as raw materials supply.

Among the speakers are: 
- Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP;
- Kevin Bradley, President of the Nickel Institute;
- Lionel Platteuw, Executive Director of EU-Nited.


The debate is moderated by Frederic Simon, Editor of EurActiv.com
