8th high-level meeting of the EU Refining Forum

The 8^th high-level meeting of the EU Refining Forum will take place on 25 April 2018 in Brussels. The focus of this meeting will be on how the EU refining industry will contribute to the energy transition.

The event will gather more than 140 Participants that will exchange views on the national energy and climate plans, on the future of oil in the energy mix and the implications this will have on the car industry and the refining sector.

The programme will include interventions by representatives from Member States, the Commission, the International Energy Agency, the refining and car industry and trade unions. The event will conclude with a keynote speech delivered by Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete.

The EU Refining Forum was established in 2012. The aim of the Forum is to provide an opportunity for the industry, EU countries, Members of the European Parliament, the Commission and other stakeholders to discuss planned and future regulatory proposals with potentially significant impacts on the EU oil refining industry and on the EU's security of supply of petroleum products.
