Book Description
The Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and the Information Society (TEN) is one of EESC's seven specialised bodies whose role is to draw up opinions on a large variety of policy proposals including mobility, cross-border infrastructure projects, aviation, energy production and distribution, the information society and services of general interest. In order to facilitate progress in these areas, the TEN Section works closely with European civil society organisations and is an active promoter of participation and dialogue in policy-making.

Book Description
The question of how to make the European Union's energy use more environmentally and economically sound in the context of a developing EU energy policy is currently being dealt with by the European Economic and Social Committee. The issue of energy efficiency is important to the future of all Europeans, as energy is essential to daily life. Thus, the opinions presented in this brochure seek to highlight the various aspects of the energy domain in which the EESC is currently involved. The topics addressed are: the need for a more diversified energy mix, the Energy Policy for Europe, the Energy Star programme for more energy efficient office equipment, the need for an educated consumer, the European Commission's Nuclear Illustrative Programme, the use of biofuels as an energy source, the importance of limiting restrictions on energy practices, the need for binding legal measures that would protect citizens' rights, and the pressing need for a viable European energy policy. These opinions were adopted between the years 2006 and 2008, and are thus, still pertinent. Through this brochure, the Committee seeks to raise awareness of the important contributions that European civil society organisations can make towards the promotion of efficient energy use and towards the adoption of an adequate energy mix in Europe.

Book Description
Responding to substantial changes in the transport sector, between May 2017 and May 2018 the European Commission (EC) published three 'mobility packages' falling under the major political initiative Europe on the Move. While the first package focused on maintaining the competitiveness of the European transport sector in a socially fair transition towards clean energy and digitalisation, in its second batch of proposals the EC took action to reinforce the EU's global leadership in clean vehicles initiatives. The third and last mobility package under Europe on the Move aimed at ensuring a smooth transition to a mobility system that would be not only clean, connected and automated, but also safe. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has carefully followed all these developments in order to give an exhaustive response from Civil Society to this far-reaching initiative. The EESC's Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and the Information Society (TEN), and in particular 14 rapporteurs and co-rapporteurs, were actively involved in drafting almost 20 opinions on Europe on the Move, considering all the different aspects of the European Commission ́s proposals. The TEN Section also developed close cooperation with other EU institutions on this initiative, in particular with the European Commissioner for Mobility and Transport, Violeta Bulc, who took part in the EESC Plenary Session in September 2018 dedicated to this topic, as well as with the European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN). While the first volume of the EESC's "Europe on the Move" brochure, published in autumn 2018, covers the EESC opinions on the first and second mobility packages, this second volume presents the EESC opinions adopted in response to the EC's third mobility package. These two publications are complemented by a third brochure introducing some additional opinions and thus giving an overview of the positions and views of Civil Society on major, closely-related topics and developments, such as investments under the Connecting Europe Facility, digitalisation, decarbonisation, and gender equality, as well as on specific issues concerning individual modes of transport.
