Fine Gael MEP met gas industry prior to vote on legislation relating to new energy requirements for buildings
In June 2022 Kelly was a speaker at an event organised by Liquid Gas Europe, at which representatives of the gas industry association argued an allowance for boilers that use liquid gas should be included in the buildings renovation legislation concerned, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
The general manager of Liquid Gas Europe, Ewa Abramiuk-Lete, told Politico that she had discussed the issue with Kelly when they met “informally” in Strasbourg at plenary sessions of the European Parliament, and that she had also met him at three European Energy Forum dinner events in the past year. “It was seen as a red line issue by the European People’s Party,” Cuffe told reporters, describing the inclusion of the amendment as “regrettable” but unavoidable.
