This event continues our series, EU Strategic Toolbox Talks, in which we focus on existing and upcoming EU instruments aimed at managing critical dependencies and strengthening the EU\u2019s sovereignty. These instruments form an important basis for fostering the EU\u2019s capability to act in a global environment increasingly shaped by geopolitical tensions and systemic rivalries.<\/p>\n

Main fields of action for its implementation are energy supply, transport, trade, industry, financial market regulation and agriculture. To achieve climate neutrality and energy security more quickly, the EU is looking for partners. Partnership with the EU’s southern neighbourhood plays an important role in increasing the supply of green energy sources.<\/p>\n
