Belén Martínez Carbonell, secretary general of the European External Action Service (EEAS), the European Union's diplomatic corps, stated on February 27 at a press conference in Ottawa that Brussels prioritizes clean energy. The diplomat was participating in high-level exchanges with Canadian officials on urgent foreign policy and defense priorities.
