“Energy Policy and the EU is a timely and well-researched reminder of theway in which the EU’s misguided policies significantly ramp up energycosts... It cannot be said too often that the EU’s policies, especially in relationto renewables, are deeply flawed. They are in urgent need of reform as thispaper, a very useful contribution to the debate, persuasively argues.”– Ruth Lea, Director and Economic Adviser, Arbuthnot Banking Group“Not since the early 1970s has the very real threat of big energy pricespikes and power supply interruptions been so real. Slavish adherence todraconian and damaging EU energy directives has undermined a coherentand sustainable energy policy for the UK. This report highlights the problemand provides credible solutions”– Tony Lodge, Research Fellow, Centre for Policy Studies“This timely report shows how EU policy is driving up the cost of energyand undermining the competitiveness of our Energy Intensive Industries.If we want UK manufacturing to thrive, we need less prescriptive EUlegislation and more freedom for markets to deliver cleaner, internationallycompetitive energy supplies.”– Jeremy Nicholson, Director, Energy Intensive Users Group“This important paper is a valuable contribution to the debate and shouldbe required reading for MEPs and EU officials as they set out their agenda”– James Sproule, Chief Economist, Institute of Directorswww.businessforbritain.org
