Goals / Remit
EU ProSun is a joint initiative of EU solar businesses. The mission of EU ProSun is to promote sustainable energy production using solar technology. The EU has decided on clear climate goals for 2020, which will be an important step towards leaving behind risky technologies and limit unnecessary CO2 emissions. EU ProSun believes that photovoltaic energy systems can become a major pillar of the energy revolution in Europe.
EU ProSun members are committed to the highest environmental and labour standards, as well as to the further development of world-leading solar technologies. We want to maintain and build this sustainable and vibrant photovoltaic industry in Europe.
During the last twenty years, the European solar industry has worked hard to gain global leadership. There are now over 130 European solar manufacturers investing in European R&D, local jobs, renewable energy and our common future. EU ProSun promotes European manufacturing that generates added value locally by creating thousands of jobs in all EU Member States, but also ensures progressive energy independence of Europe.
Supporters of EU ProSun stand for healthy competition in which companies do not gain an unfair advantage over others. We believe that only undistorted trade and fair competition further innovation, efficiency and lowers prices sustainably over the long term.Main EU files targeted

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
