Electricity, raw materials, industry: S&D appoints rapporteurs

Spanish Socialist Nicolás González Casares will be the EU Parliament’s rapporteur for electricity market reform. This was announced by the S&D group on Tuesday. Casares will thus be responsible for amending the Directive and Regulation on the internal electricity market, as well as the ACER Regulation and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). A draft report from Parliament is expected before the end of April or May. The Commission submitted its proposal in mid-March in response to the drastic rise in electricity prices last year.
