PAM President, Sen. France Amoruso accompanied by PAM Secretary General, Amb. Sergio Piazzi, opened the works of the Verona Energy Efficiency Summit, held on 8 October 2014.

The meeting addressed, among others, issues related to Energy efficiency and Climate Change, the role of national and international institutions, national challenges and policies for efficiency and the contribution of the private sector.

In Verona, President Amoruso met with the Executive Director of the International Agency for Energy (IAE), Ms. Maria van der Hoeven and the newly appointed Director General of UNIDO, Mr Li Yong.

The two executives expressed their satisfaction for the role played by the PAM Panel on Trade and Investments in the Mediterranean, particularly with reference to the work of its Energy Group. It was agreed to further strengthen the relations with the IAE, and to expand PAM – UNIDO cooperation in the MENA region and in the reconstruction efforts for Gaza.

In the near future, a PAM High Level delegation will visit the Headquarters of both Agencies, in order to follow up on the collaboration process and to establish a structured programme of work, which includes a Energy dedicated meeting to take place in Morocco in the first quarter of 2015.
