Energy in Europe [antikvár]

he pace of energy policy debate is quickening : last autumn, the Commission initiated a round ofcontacts with Member States, consumers and producers. This ongoing process of dialogue is important because ofthe complexities emerging in looking towards thefuture. The structure of this debate focuses on four major themes - the interaction between energy and: the economy; the external dimension; the environment, including climate change; and finally, the energy industry itself Supporting and facilitating the debate on these themes needs developed analytical efforts, both in terms of what happened in the past and what may develop in the near future. Our ambition in presenting this Annual Energy Review is to continue to provide elements for observing and monitoring developments and thus, to contribute to the political decisions which must be made within the European Union. In order to make what is essentially an historical statistical analysis relevant to policy debate, the Review focuses for example on monitoring trends in energy supply and demand and C02 emissions by Member State and world regions. Leading indicators such as energy intensity and C02 emissions published are supported by substantial and detailed data by country, by fuel, and by end use and transformation sectors.
