Claude Turmes: ‘Mr. Energy’ on the loose

„It is important that we have someone with experience who will do everything to implement the European mandate,“ Luxembourg’s Energy Minister Claude Turmes (Greens) said last year. At issue was the reform of the Energy Charter Treaty and the move of Turmes’ energy advisor Guy Lentz to head the ECT. The latter took over as secretary general on Jan. 1. Lentz was tasked with bringing the outdated Investor Protection Treaty in line with European climate goals.
