DieseZielesollendurchdiefolgendenMassnahmenerreichtwerden:
-AusbaueinesZentrumszurUnterstützung derTechnologie-Systemanalyse
miteinemzentralenMitarbeiterstab sowieeinerComputeranlage
vorgesehener Standort:KFAJülich;
-TransferdeswährendderPlanungsarbeiten derIEAentwickelten Modells
MARKALaufdieEDV-Anlagen derTeilnehmer;
-Durchführung einesgemeinsambeschlossenen Arbeitsprogramms ;
-gelegentliche BesuchederTeilnehmerbeiderZentralstelle inJülich.

DieKommission halt die Beteiligung der Gemeinschaft andiesem Abkommen
aus dennachfolgenden Gründen ihren FuE-Zielen indiesem Bereich für
zuträglich :
Dievorgeschlagene Zusammenarbeit isteine Weiterführung vonArbeiten ,
zudenen dieKommission bereits durch dieaktive Beteiligung eines ihrer
Sachverständigen imBrookhaven Laboratory (USA )einen wertvollen Beitrag
geleistet hat .Dort wurden gemeinsam mit der KFA Jülich' das unter dem
Namen MARKAL bekannte taktische Modell sowie die inderAusarbeitung
derProgrammstrategie der IEAverwendeten analytischen Ergebnisse ent­
wickelt (siehe Absatz 3). Ziel desvorgeschlagenen Abkommens ist es,
die Datengrundlage und dieModelltechniken zugunsten derTeilnehmer in
Anwendung zubringen und zuverbessern .Für die Europäische Gemeinschaft
würde dies eine wertvolle Ergänzung der Arbeiten derKommission imBereich
der Systemanalyse darstellen ,indem eine quantitative Bestimmung der
Auswirkungen derverschiedenen Produktions -,Verbrauchs -undUmwandlungs -
technologien auf die FuE-Politik ermöglicht wird .Gleichzeitig würde der
Gemeinschaft ein ständiger Zugang zuArbeiten auf diesem Gebiet ermöglicht ,
die von Drittländern wie den USA und Japan durchgeführt werden .
Der Wert einer solchen Beteiligung wurde durch die einstimmige Untei–
Stützung des BPA "Systemanalyse "imOktober 1980 und durch der CREST -
Auschuss "Energie "während der Sitzung imNovember 1980 anerkannt .
Als finanzielle Auswirkungen des Abkommens werden Gesamtkosten von
400.000 DMpro Jahr während zwei Jahren entstehen ;die Kost'en werden
von denTeilnehmern zugleichen Teilen getragen .Aus dieser Verpflichtung
werden derAufbau der zentralen Unterstützungsstelle imKFA Jülich getragen
(ein aus vier Personen bestehendes Arbeitsteam :1Pro jektLeiter,2
Wissenschaftler und 1Bürokraft )sowie Vorkehrungen fürBesuche von offi­
ziellen Vertretern der Teilnehmer getroffen .
Unter Zugrundelegung derTatsache ,dass insgesamt 15Mitgliedstaaten der
IEA sowie die ,Kommi ssionihrInteresse ander Beteiligung andem Abkommen
bekundet haben ,werden die Kosten für die Beteiligung derKommission
25.000 DMpro Jahr betragen ;diese Summe wird aus der Haushaltsstelle
des Energie Forschungs -und Entwi cklungsprogramms 1978-83 ,imRahmen
des Teils "Systemanalysen und strategische Studien "bezahlt .
Betreffend die Verbreitung vonKenntnissen und das geistige Eigentum
ergeben sich keine Probleme ,daindem Abkommen kein Austausch von
Lizenzen vorgesehen ist .DieKommission geht jedoch davon ausund'
macht ihre Beteiligung davon abhängig ,dass die auf diese Weise erhaltenen
Informationen dergesamten Europäischen Gemeinschaft zugute kommen und
allen interessierten Regierungs -und Nichtregierungsorgani sationen inden
Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zugänglich gemacht werden
können .

NachAuffassung derKommission LiegendieBefugniese überdieAushandlung '
