The Vice President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), Emma Navarro, was also present at this meeting.

Leaders reaffirm their commitment to fighting climate change. The challenges ahead require rapid and sustained mobilization. For this reason, Portugal, France and Spain, at the Lisbon meeting, pledged to actively promote the energy transition and the decarbonisation of the economy. The European Commission and the EIB will provide full support, including financial support.

(Internal Energy Market)

Committed to the establishment of the European Energy Union and the energy transition, the signatories reaffirm the strategic role of interconnections to improve the functioning of a secure, competitive and clean internal energy market. to engage in a transformation towards a more sustainable energy system, in line with European energy and climate objectives. They also recognize the importance of an efficient energy market to contribute to the competitiveness of European industry and to job creation.

The participants, being exposed to the same risks of supply taking into account the technological evolutions and the international geopolitical context, underline that the development of the energy interconnections makes it possible to bring a common answer, which testifies to the added value of a European approach, as is the case with security and defense.

In the wake of the Madrid Summit of 4 March 2015, the signatories reiterate their commitment to the development of interconnections and agree to set an ambitious common agenda to complete the energy transition.

They reiterate their willingness to implement the conclusions of the October 2014 European Council, in particular the 2020-2030 targets for interconnections. Similarly, they recognize the importance of the conclusions of the Clean Energy for All Europeans package and, in particular, the Energy Union and Climate Action Governance Regulation, which sets targets for for interconnections up to 10% for 2020 and 15% for 2030.

They also emphasize the importance of meeting interconnection targets to promote renewable energy and to meet the commitments made under the Paris Agreement.

They reaffirm their commitment to the objectives set and the commitment to build the infrastructure necessary for the efficient functioning of an efficient and decarbonised internal energy market, in particular the cross-border interconnections of natural gas and electricity networks, in particular in Member States that have not yet reached a minimum level of integration in the European energy market, as is the case in Spain and Portugal.

The signatories welcome the work done by the South West Europe High Level Group on Interconnections (HLG), created following the Madrid Summit. Chaired by the European Commission, the High Level Group played a central role in establishing a roadmap for the implementation of the projects contained in the Madrid Declaration. The signatories confirm their willingness to support the HLG in evaluating the development of projects of common interest (ICPs) necessary to avoid the energy isolation of this region and included in the implementation plan adopted in September 2016.

Russia, Portugal, France, Spain, the European Commission and the EIB, committed to renewing the political momentum towards achieving the objectives of energy interconnections, reaffirm their commitment to the CIPs already identified, but have not yet been committed or completed. The use of the most environmentally friendly technologies and more economical will be essential to improve the local acceptability of infrastructure and meet the cost-benefit criteria.

They also agreed to review the implementation plan for implementing the current ICPs, as well as to identify new or alternative projects as soon as possible. These projects will also enable Portugal, France and Spain to reach a more ambitious target by 2030.

The three countries will continue to coordinate closely, with the participation of all relevant stakeholders, in monitoring interconnection projects, while assessing the corresponding funding needs and overseeing their evolution in order to develop a new roadmap for implement them.

They welcome the EIB's commitment to assess the possibility of additional support for financing this infrastructure.

They renewed their support for European funding of the projects identified at the previous Summit in order to move towards their finalization: Cantegrit-Navarra and Marsillon-Aragon, as well as the interconnection of Portugal and Spain, between Vila Fria-Vila do Conde-Recarei (Portugal) and Beariz-Fontefría (Spain), which, when concluded, will bring a level of interconnection greater than 10% between Portugal and Spain.

They also express their full support for the speeding up of the preparation and identification of financing sources within the European framework in order to evaluate and implement new electricity interconnection projects between France and Spain.

They recognize that the new interconnections will also require additional reinforcement of existing networks in order to make full use of their capacity. These reinforcements will have to be identified as soon as possible and taken into account in the evaluations.

(Gas interconnections)

Portugal, France and Spain welcome the European Union strategy for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its storage, adopted by the Commission in February 2016. They highlight the importance of LNG for diversification of EU sources and supply routes, with the aim of reducing dependency and enhancing energy security. To this end, it is essential to focus on the development of transport, storage and import infrastructures that will enable Europe to take full advantage of this source of energy.

Portugal, France and Spain recognize the importance of gas interconnections in the region, whether for regional purposes or as an essential contribution to the security of supplies on the European natural gas market.

The three countries are pleased to be able to contribute to this strategy via existing LNG infrastructure, which now accounts for the majority of imported LNG in Europe. This strategy should support increased gas flows between Portugal, Spain and France, in both directions, contributing to a safer and more affordable internal energy market in the context of a transition. clean energy.

The signatories also recognize the importance of concluding the MIBGAS treaty between Spain and Portugal, which will allow the deepening of the Iberian gas market and its future integration into the French market, thus improving the functioning of the entire European market for gas. energy.

The three countries support the priorities established under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), the Structural Funds and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, priorities which should be maintained in the next multiannual financial framework through the CEF and the future InvestEU program and again rely on the proper participation of the EIB.

Such financing should contribute to the construction of a viable, united European market without creating an excessive burden for consumers in the three countries.

(Energetic transition)

Portugal, France and Spain recognize the contribution that a fully interconnected internal energy market can make to the decarbonisation of the European energy sector. This energy transition plays a key role in the long-term European strategy for reducing emissions and the path towards carbon neutrality by 2050, consistent with meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

They express their support for the development of this strategy and for the completion of the negotiation of all the legislative proposals of the "Clean Energy for All Europeans" package, before the start of COP 24, which will take place at the end of year in Katowice (Poland). All three also recognize the social, economic and environmental benefits of a clean energy transition, including its contribution to improving Europe's air quality, and the resulting opportunities in terms of investment, growth and growth. jobs.

The three countries agree on the need to set ambitious national targets for renewable energy development and energy efficiency. They also agree on the relevance of better coordinating their national energy-climate action plans and sharing coherent scenarios for energy supply.
