On 17 February 2018, a group of young Belarusians holding a banner reading ‘Legalize Belarus’ gathered on Independence Avenue in the heart of Minsk.

The group was campaigning for the legalisation of marijuana in Belarus, a proposition that, at least for now, seems unlikely to attract support from the public or government officials.

2018 is a year for the European Commission to reflect on the priorities to give to the energy-climate issue.

The Juncker Commission will publish a communication at the end of the spring regarding its energy-climate priorities for 2025.

In view of this the present paper describes the areas which might be given to the next European Commission to turn the Union’s ecological leadership into a lever for industrial development, growth and sustainable employment.
