LOBBYING THE EU DG ENERGY

DG Energy: French veteran Eurocrat Dominique Ristori is one of the most accessible Directors-General. Ristori started working at the Commission in 1978 and joined the energy department in 1996, developing expertise in an area that has become one of the most politically sensitive around, taking in geopolitics and energy security.
