Through its activity, and especially through the events of which it is an organizer or co-organizer, our Association represents the strongest voice in the field of energy that is actively involved in proposals to amend specific legislation and in making available to decision-makers supporting materials for making decisions .

CNR-CME is recognized at the level of the World Energy Council as one of its most active organizations, and as a result, it was invited to propose representatives in various Study Committees and Working Groups active within the Council. I still want to participate and get involved in all the projects of the Association”, said Mr. Gheorghiu, upon assuming the position of president of CNR-CME
