Subject: Invitation to a joint Benelux-Baltic Energy Ministerial meeting on the 27th of June 2022
Dear Minister,
I am pleased to invite you and all energy ministers from the Benelux and Baltic countries to a
joint Benelux-Baltic Energy Ministerial meeting on the 27th of June in Luxembourg to reinforce
regional cooperation as a crucial facilitator for a successful energy transition.
I would like to welcome you for breakfast from 8h30 to 9h55 in my ministry. It is located on the
22nd floor of the same building where the Energy Council will be held at 10h00 (Centre de
Conférence; 4, Place de l’Europe, L-1499 Luxembourg).
Benelux and Baltic countries share a common approach to closely cooperate among themselves
within their respective region. But also between the Benelux and Baltic regions cooperation is
not new - indeed, shortly after the Baltic countries regained their independence in the ‘90s, many
mutual exchanges were organized which occasionally led to cooperation agreements on topics
such as the economy or transport.
As chair of the Benelux Union this year, Luxembourg wants to put the spotlight on our
commonalities and possible areas of closer collaboration in the field of energy. It is my deep

conviction that regional cooperation not only reinforces the position of our individual countries,
but also contributes to a prosperous and democratic Europe. This is very well reflected in the
topic of energy, and I would therefore like to invite you for a Ministerial round table on two main
topics:
- Offshore wind – how can cross border cooperation in offshore wind contribute to
reaching our renewable energy ambitions and those of the EU?
- Digitalisation of the energy system – how can smart meters and energy data platforms
strengthen the functioning of our national, regional and European internal energy
market?
I gladly organise this meeting together with the Secretary General of the Benelux, Alain de
Muyser, who will assist to make our regional ministerial Benelux-Baltics event both visible and
fruitful. May I therefore ask you to kindly confirm your participation to Frederik Deloof
(
[email protected]).
I am very much looking forward to this exchange that I trust will inspire our efforts for a successful
energy transition in the Benelux and Baltic region and beyond.
With kind regards,
Claude Turmes
Minister for Energy of Luxembourg
President of the Benelux Energy Cooperation

Invitation to a joint Benelux-Baltic Energy Ministerial meeting on the
27th of June 2022
Dear Minister,
It is with great pleasure that I transmit to you a letter of invitation
by Minister Claude Turmes, Minister for Energy of Luxembourg and current
President of the Benelux Energy Cooperation, to a joint Benelux-Baltic
Energy Ministerial meeting, to be held on June 27th in Luxembourg, en
marge of a European Council of Ministers.
As you might be aware, the current Luxembourg Presidency of the Benelux
Union sees it as a priority to deepen cooperation with other regional
cooperation. I am thus delighted to co-host this encouraging meeting on
regional energy cooperation, to focus on renewable energies, with an
emphasis on offshore wind and digitalisation. By engaging a discussion on
these topics, by seeking possible areas of cooperation, our common aim
shall be to highlight the opportunities and strengths pertaining in our
regions and concretely demonstrate, within the EU, successful transborder
initiatives.
In looking forward to a fruitful event,
Yours sincerely,
Alain de MUYSER
