EU-U.S. Task Force on Energy Security reviews the progress on energy security situation

The EU-U.S. Task Force on Energy Security met virtually on 6 July 2023 to discuss the implementation of the 25 March 2022 Joint Statement by Presidents Biden and von der Leyen, as well as their commitment of 10 March 2023 to continue to work together to advance energy security and sustainability in Europe. The meeting was co-chaired by Ditte Juul Jørgensen, Director-General for Energy at the European Commission, and Sarah Ladislaw, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Climate and Energy at the National Security Council.

The Task Force reviewed progress on the successful diversification of natural gas supplies to Europe, reduction of EU’s gas demand, and accelerating the development and deployment of clean technologies. It also decided to continue its work at technical level, to monitor the energy security situation in the EU, its neighbourhood, and globally.

The Task Force will reconvene in person later this year, ahead of the next winter season.
