Backgroundpaper: The Integrated Energy and Climate Programme of the German Government

Backgroundpaper

At its meeting in Meseberg in August 2007 the Cabinet adopted an ambitious energy and climate programme, consisting of 29 key elements. On 5 December 2007 the Cabinet submitted a comprehensive package of 14 acts and ordinances. Another, smaller package containing further legislative proposals will follow on 21 May 2008. The decisions of Meseberg will thus be rigorously implemented.
