Gennemførelsesaftale vedrørende etprogramfor
systemanalyse afenergiteknologi
(Meddelelse fraKommissionentilRådet)

MEDDELELSE TIL RÅDET PRÅ KOMMISSIONEN
1.Den 24.juni ogden 6.juli 197° blev der indgået enaftale iform afen
brevveksling mellem påden ene side Det europæiske Atomergifællesskab
(Euratom )ogDet europæiske økonomiske Fællesskab ogpåden anden side
Detinternationale Energiagentur (IEA)vedrørende samarbejde omenergi­
forskning og -^udvikling .
Ihenhold til brevvekslingen tilkendegav Deeuropæiske Fællesskaber deres
hensigt omihvert enkelt tilfælde atforhandle omdeltagelse isådanne
gennemførelsesaftaler ("Implementing Agreements "),udarbejdet inden for
IEA,som kanbidrage tilvirkeliggørelse afFællesskabets mål påF&U-
området .IEAtog for sin del denne hensigt til efterretning ogbekræftede ,
atensådan deltagelse står åben for Det europæiske Fællesskab .
2.Imedfør afdenne aftale erderblevet indgået 8gennemførelsesaftaler om
internationalt samarbejde vedrørende forskellige områder inden for forsk­
ning ogudvikling ,der erafinteresse for Fællesskabet .
3.Rådet vil imedfølgende bilag finde teksten til ennygennemførelsesaftale
bragt iforslag afIEAtil Fællesskabets undertegnelse ,nemligs "Gennem -
førelsesaftale vedrørende etprogram for systemanalyse afenergiteknologi "
(sebilag A).
Aftalen tager sigte påatvidereføre samarbejdet vedrørende systemanalyse
med det dobbelte formål auøge deltagernes analysekompetence inden for
energiteknologivurdering ogbevare enflerstrenget kompetence inden for IEA
med hensyn til systemanalyser gennem anvendelse ogforbedring afdemodel -
teknikker ,somblev udviklet iperioden 1976-1979 ,daIEAudviklede sin
F&U-strategi .
4.Ovennævnte mål skal virkeliggøres gennem :
-oprettelse afetcenter for systemanalyse afenergiteknologi med centralt
personale ogedb-faciliteter iKFAJulich ;
-overførsel afMARKAL –modellen (udviklet iforbindelse med IEA'sstrategi -
arbejde )tildeltagernes edb-anlæg ;
-gennemførelse afetvedtaget arbejdsprogram ;
-midlertidige ophold idetcentrale anlæg iJulich for deltagerne .

_2-
5.Kommissionen finåer ,atFællesskabets deltagelse id^nne aftale vil fremme
virkeliggørelsen afdets F&U-rcål pådette område affølgende årsagers
Det foreslåede samarbejde viderefører dot arbejde ,hvortil 1Kommissionen al­
lerede har ydet etværdifuldt praktisk bidrag ,idet enafKommissionens
eksperter aktivt hardeltaget iarbejdet iBrookhaven Laboratory (USA),
hvor strategimodellen MARKAL ogdeanalyseresultater ,som anvendtes ved
udarbejdelsen afIEA' sstrategi ,blev udviklet isamarbejde med KFÅJulich
(seafsnit 3)•Denforeslåede aftale hartil formål atanvende ogudvikle
database -ogmodelteknikkerne til ga"/nfor deltagerne .For Det europæiske
Fællesskabs vedkommende vil dette være etværdifuldt supplement til Kommis­
sionens eget systemanalysearbejde ,idet det åbner mulighed for,atder kan
ssttss tal påvirkningerne andre steder afforskellige produktions -,for­
brugs -ogomdannelsesteknologier for F&CJ-politiklcen .Detvil også give
Fællesskabet permanent adgang til det arbejde ,derudføres pådette område
itredjelande såsom USA ogJapan .
Fordelene ved ensådan deltagelse erblevet anerkendt afCCMGP vedrørende
systemanalyse ioktober 1980 ogafCREST's energiudvalg påmødet inovember
1980 ,ogbegge udvalg gav deres enstemmige tilslutning hertil .
6.Med hensyn til definansielle virkninger vilaftalens oiakostninger blive
påialt 400 000 DM omåret itoår,fordelt ligeligt blandt deltagerne .
Disse midler skal anvendes til finansiering afoprettelsen afdet centrale
anlæg iKFAJulien (4ansatte ,heraf 1projektleder ,2videnskabelige med­
arbejdere og1kontormedarbejder )oggøre detmuligt forrepræsentanter
for deltagerne ataflægge besøg ianlægget .
Daialt 15afIEA'smedlemslande ligesom Kommissionen har udtrykt interesse
foratdeltage iaftalen vil Kommissionens årlige bidrag blive på25000 DM,
som skal dækkes afFællesskabers F&U-budget vedrørende systemanalyse .
7.Hvad udbredelse afoplysninger ogintellektuel ejendomsret angår ,opstår
der ikke problemer ,dader ikke iaftalen erfastsat nogen udveksling af
licenser .
Det erimidlertid Kommissionens holdning ogenbetingelse for dens delta­
gelse ,atden viden ,der opnås ,skal være til gavn for Det europæiske Fælles­
skab som helhed ogstilles til rådighed foralle interesserede statslige og
ikke-statslige institutioner iFællesskabets medlemsstater .
8.Det erKommissionens opfattelse ,atmed hensyn til gennemførelsesaftalen
vedrørende systemanalyse afenergiteknologi erbeføjelserne til atforhandle
ogindgå ensådan aftale givet Kommissionen ihc-nhold til EØF-t ralet atens
artikel 211.Ved indgåelse afgennemførelsesaftalen vedrerende etprogram

-3-
forudvikling ogafprøvning afsolvarme -ogsolkølesystemer ,gav Kommis­
sionen imidlertid udtryk for,atdenifremtiden ,inden den undertegnede
lignende aftaler inden for IKA,ville orientere Rådet omsinhensigt omat
undertegne ensådan aftale ogtage eventuelle "bemærkninger fra Rådets side
til efterretning .
9.Kommissionen meddeler derfor Rådet ,atdenhartilhensigt atundertegne
gennemførelsesaftalen vedrørende systemanalyse afenergiteknologi .

ENERGY TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS ANALYSIS PROJECT
1.Background and Objectives
(a)Background .Asaresult ofthedecision bytheIEA Governing Board
inNovember ,1975 todevelop anIEA Strat^vy forEnergy Research ,Development andDemonstration ,aco-opcrativi energy systems analysis
activity wasbegun inFebruary ,1976 forthe"purpose ofproviding the
analytical basis for the Strategy .This activity was carried out ona
task-sharing basis and was managed byaSteering Group onResearch
and Development Systems Analysis under the Committee onEnergy
Research and Development .Sixteen Participating Countries and the
Commission oftheEuropean Communities participated inthis activity ,
which wasterminated bydecision oftheSteering Group on31st December ,
1979 .Bythat time theco-operative work had developed acomputer
model ,known asMARKAL ,and asetofanalytical results that have been
used todevelop anEnergy Research ,Development and Demonstration
Strategy fortheIEA . .'
(b)Objectives .The objectives ofthisTask arctoprovide forthecontinuation
ofaco-operative energy technology systems analysis activity inwhich the
greater part oftheanalytical work will becarried outbyParticipants at
thenational levu ,with co-ordination andcertain typc$ ofsupport being
assured byacentral support staff .-The general objectives oftheTask
are to:
(1)Increase theanalytical capabilities ofParticipating Countries inthe
field ofenergy technology assessment ;
(2)Maintain amultilateral capability within theIEA forenergy techno­
logy systems analysis bymaking useofandimproving thedata base
and modelling techniques developed during Phase 11oftheIEA
Energy Research and Development Systems Analysis Project .
Specific analytical objectives areasfollows ,with pach objective tobepursued
inaSubtask :
 • • *
Subtask J:Analyse thepotential forenergy saving through theapplication
ofconservation technologies .
Subtask 2:Review anil expand thetechnology characterizations devel­
oped for the IEA Energy Research ,Development and
Demonstration Strategy Project ;perform sensitivity analyses ,
and study thecompetitiveness ofselected technologies .
Subtask 3:Review keyassumptions about world-traded fuels andexamine
thesensitivity ofresults tovariations inthese assumptions .

Subtask 4:Review thedemand projections ,theunderlying assumptions
foreconomic growth andother important items ,andanalyse
the robustness ofdifferent scenarios .
Subtask 5:Investigate certain environmental questions including the
requirements forlabour ,land ,water and some structural
materials ,andspecify theinventories of'selected pollutants .
2.Means
