As a guest speaker Commissioner Oettinger held the first Vigoni Lecture in December 2011. The Lecture establishes a series of lectures in honour of the German-Italian bilateral cultural centre. Key points of his lecture covered - above economic considerations - the overall benefit of Germany's membership in the EU and the recurring of Italy as an active member of the Union since Monti's cabinet took office. Moreover, Commissioner Oettinger discussed the need of strengthening the industrial sector in Europe as well as the ongoing sovereign debt crisis. He, finally, sketched the significance for a common European energy strategy considering security of supply, sustainability and affordability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
