41. Calls on the Commission to continue to press for the setting up of a system for energy exchange between the EU and the US, in light of the current and future developments in research, innovation and licensing of power line systems, such as high-voltage power connections, aimed at developing a global renewable energy sharing network;

· The 'Energy-efficient Buildings' Public-Private Partnership was provided with € 1 billion to promote green technologies and the development of energy efficient systems and materials in new and renovated buildings (including historic buildings) to radically reduce their energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

The measures proposed by the new Directive will contribute to ensuring that all Member States make an appropriate contribution to the efforts needed to achieve the 20 % target and a level playing field for all market actors, notably by setting minimum energy performance requirements (for instance on access to public markets, energy audit obligations on companies, energy saving obligations on energy utilities and access to the grid for cogeneration producers). The proposal gives investors certainty as regards the achievement of the EU target and support for energy efficiency improvement measures such as high-efficiency cogeneration and district heating and ...[+++] cooling.

designing, building and assembling the prototype of the low energy part and the first high energy section of one of the two accelerators including its radio frequency power supplies, generators and their auxiliaries, and conducting their integrated beam testing operation.

Secondly, in order to qualify as high efficiency cogeneration, the process must provide energy savings of at least 10%, as laid down in Annex III. The Commission will provide harmonised reference values for calculating the energy savings.

Yet, all around us in this high-tech era we are increasingly being bombarded by fields and waves from wireless local access networks, from blue tooth devices, from class I lasers and the like.
