Legal basis and purpose
Legal basis and purpose
The legal basis for the long-term strategy is the adapted and adopted Regulation 2018/1999 of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action. The adapted and adopted Regulation sets out the governance framework of the Energy Community.
The purpose of the long-term strategy, as set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, is to define a coherent national vision for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the EU’s climate neutrality objective by 2050 and its commitments under the Paris Agreement. These strategies help ensure consistency between short-term policies and long-term goals, guide the development of NECPs, and support a cost-effective, socially fair transition to a low-emission, climate-resilient economy.
