During the process of setting the channels (6.1) the ESCR is determined using the appropriate computer program when the efficiency is determined. The external standard used is 137caesium, which is already built-in by the manufacturer.

7.1. Slightly extinguished samples such as those described in 6.4 with an ESCR of around 1.8 may be measured via the ESCR, which provides a measure of the efficiency.

44. Considers that switching freight transport from roads to short sea shipping and inland waterways can play an important part in the EU strategy for meeting climate protection obligations under the Kyoto Protocol; points out that, in the maritime transport sector, further improvements in emissions are technically entirely feasible, and are, in fact, essential with regard to reducing sulphur dioxide emissions; notes that in some port towns and cities acceptable levels of sulphur dioxide emanating from vessels lying at anchor have already been exceeded; considers that an initial step would be to give vessels incentives to use low sulp ...[+++]hur fuels by grading port charges; calls on the Commission to put forward as soon as possible a relevant proposal with a view to implementing the internalisation of external costs in the maritime transport sector and, in this connection, also to support other innovative port projects for reducing emissions;

32. Awaits the results of the external study on Parliament's working methods and staff profiles (EP-ROME); expects this study to provide Parliament's Administration with a useful tool for optimising the allocation of resources and defining a modern training policy and adoption of performance and target focused management methods; takes the view that the conclusions of the ongoing evaluation of workload in the various sectors of Parliament's Administration should provide, also in the context of benchmarking of best practices, some scope for redeployment ; considers that degree of specialisation and workload should be taken into account ...[+++] in the yearly staff evaluation reports and in promotions; invites the Bureau to examine the possibility of establishing weightings for these two criteria; considers that Parliament's promotion policy needs further refinement and improvement;
