'in conclusion european union holds very good record on energy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'in conclusion european union' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'conclusion' becomes 'epilog' (I've seen this in another clue).
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'union' becomes 'U' (common abbreviation as in 'Trades Union Congress').
'epilog'+'e'='epiloge'
'epiloge' placed around 'u' is 'EPILOGUE'.
