ENERGY AND COAL POLICIES OF EUROPEAN UNION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO THE UNITED KINGDOM AND TURKEY
Abstract
Turkey, as a candidate country of the EU (European Union), is in a period of social and
economic adaptation. The UK, on the other hand, is a full member of the EU. In this
research, the main energy and coal policies of the EU are analysed to highlight the future
projection of Turkey’s and the UK’s energy and coal policy in the new century. It is
expected that in the foreseeable future coal will be one of the most important energy
resources of the world. Therefore, the present state of the coal industry of Turkey and the
UK is summarised and comments are made on the future energy policies of these countries
with regard to the EU’s approaches.
