On 6 June 2012, the European Commission presented a Communication on its renewable energy policy, outlining options for the period beyond 2020.
It confirms the market integration of renewables and the need for their growth in the decades after 2020.
The Communication also calls for a more coordinated European approach in the establishment and reform of support schemes and an increased use of renewable energy trading among Member States.
