(3a) In 2010 the Commission adopted a strategy for promoting equality between women and men in Europe aiming in particular to make better use of women's potential, thereby contributing to the EU's overall economic and social goals. The under-representation of women in the energy sector and the lack of gender specific approaches and demands can be observed on national, European and international level; consequently, and in order to implement the EU gender equality strategy at national level; Member States are required to integrate this strategy in the sense of screening of all politics to their different impacts on women and men including research on energy and the sustainable production and consumption of energy in close dialogue with the energy related industry, institutions, organisations and decisions makers.
