Concluding Remarks 8 The new IPHE Projects are good basis for research and demonstration co-operation. 8 EC committed to support ILC process, welcomes the opportunity for deepening collaboration in key areas through linking and expanding IPHE recognised projects 8 Largely supports the concepts of ILC Group Guidance Paper, but seeks to avoid proliferation of groups which strains resources 8 Processes for facilitating new projects and activities must be facilitated and streamlined; e.g. website brokerage (compilation of projects/activities that seek co-operation), compendium of funding 8 Evaluation and monitoring process should be kept simple, straightforward and relatively informal at this stage 8 IPHE « events » are considered to be a success, but there is a lack of understanding of IPHE aims and operations amongst stakeholders IPHE ILC meeting, Shanghai, 19-20 January 2006

12% final total energy consumed in the EU from renewable origin in 2010 Outlines EU long-term energy strategy to rebalance its supply and demand policy. Priority to fight against global warming: new and renewable energies are the key to change. 21% total electricity in the EU from RES en 2010 No specific objectives for RES but big impulse to the integration of RES in buildings No specific objectives for RES but big impulse to the use of RES in cogeneration 6% of automotive fuels in the EU will be biofuels in 2010 Provide a framework to promote the market both for energy services and for energy efficiency measures in general in major energy end-use sectors Save 20% of energy consumption by 2020 (i.e. €60 billion of EU energy bill) in a cost effective way. This will help EU to achieve the goals of the Lisbon Strategy and to meet its Kyoto commitments.
