Three are the spheres on which the EU has "focussed on as its priorities" during 2007: climate change, energy, and globalisation. This is the opinion of the EU’s executives in their "General Report on the activity of the European Union in 2007", published in the 23 official languages. The document, available at www.europa.eu, says that, during the last twelve months, "The Union clearly expressed the will to play a leading role in facing the problems of climate change. Thus it voices the citizens’ concerns about the future of the planet". The strategy from now to 2020, as defined by the EU Commission and approved by the EU Council and Parliament, "aims at a specific goal: reducing global warming to 2 degrees Celsius". Secondly, "it focussed on outlining a European energy policy" for which the EU Commission has adopted a set of bills of law "aiming at completing the electricity and natural gas markets", while also envisaging measures in support of renewable energy sources. The Report, which is published once a year around this time, also lingers on the measures outlined to help the 27 member states cope with economic and political globalisation.
