COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TOTHE COUNCIL
1.OnJune 24andonJuly 6,1976 ,anagreement intheform ofanexchange
ofletters wasconcluded between theEuropean Atomic Energy Community
(Euratom )andtheEuropean Economic Community ontheonehand andthe
International Energy Agency (IEA )ontheother relating toco-operation
inthefield ofEnergy Research andDevelopment .
According totheexchange ofletters ,theEuropean Communities indicated
their intention tonegotiate ,onacase bycase basis ,their participation
insuch "Implementing Agreements "prepared within theframework ofthe
IEA aswould contribute totheattainment oftheresearch anddevelopment
objectives oftheCommunity .Foritspart ,theIEAtook note ofthis
intention andconfirmed that such participation isopen totheEuropean
Community .
2.Inapplication ofthis agreement there hasbeen concluded eight Implemen­
ting Agreements forinternational collaboration indifferent aspects of
research anddevelopment ofinterest totheCommunity .
3.TheCouncil will find intheattached annex thetext ofanew Implemen­
ting Agreement proposed bytheIEAfo£signature bytheCommunity .This
is :"Implementing Agreement foraprogramme ofEnergy Technology Systems
Analysis "(seeAnnex A).
TheAgreement proposes tocontinue cooperative systems analysis activity
with thetwofold objective ofboth increasing theanalytical capability
ofparticipants inthefield ofenergy technology assessment aswell
asmaintaining amultilateral capability within theIEAforsystems ana­
lysis bymaking useofandimproving modelling techniques developed during
theperiod 1976-1979 when theIEAdeveloped anR&Dstrategy .
4.Theabove mentioned objectives will beachieved bythefollowing means :
-theestablishment ofanenergy Technology Systems Analysis Support , •»
Centre with acentral core staff andcomputer facilities based at
KFA Jtilich :
-thetransfer oftheMARKAL model (developed during theIEA'sstrategy
work )tocomputing facilities oftheparticipants ;
tr
-carrying outofanagreed work programme ;
-temporary visits ofparticipants tothecentral support facility
atJulich .

5.TheComission consi.r' -v.-sCom.unxty participation intheAgreement
wou'.d bebeneficial toits ;.15<Dobjectives inthis field for the
following reasons .
Theproposed cooperation isafollow-up ofwork towhich theCom­
mission hasalready mtieavaluable practical contribution through
the active participation ofoneofitsexperts attheRrookhaven
Laboratory (USA )wheie .along with KFA Jiilich ,thestrategy model
known asMARKAL and tr =analytical results used inthedevelopment
ofthelEA'sStrategy vere developed (seeparagraph 3above ).The
proposed agreement intends tomake useofandimprove thedata base
andmodelling techniques forthebenefit oftheparticipants .For
theEuropean Community this would provide avaluable complement to
theCommission 'sownsystems analysis work byallowing aquantifica­
tion oftheeffects elsewhere ofvarious production ,,consumption and
conversion technologies onR&Dpolicy .Itwould also allow continuing
access fortheCommunity towork being done inthis field bythird
countries such astheUSA ,nndJapan . '
Thevalue ofsuch participation hasbeen recognised bytheunanimous
support from theACPM 'Systems Analysis "inOctober 1980 andby
CREST-Energy atitsmeeting ofNovember 1980 .
6.The financial implication oftheAgreement isthat itwill cost a
total of400,000 DMp.a.fortwoyears andthecosts will beborne
equally bytheparticipants .This commitment will finance the'creation
ofthecentral support unit atKFA Jiilich (astaff offour consisting
ofaproject head ,tv.<cscientific andoneclerical staff )andmake
provision forfacilities forvisits byofficials from participants .
Given that atotal of15member countries ofthe IEA aswell asthe
Commission have indicated their interest inparticipating inthe
Agreement ,theannual cost oftheCommission 'scontribution will be
25,000 DMperyear ,which v/ilibepaid from theCommunities •Energy
research anddevelopment programme 1979-83 intheframework ofthepart
dealing with "systems analysis andstrategy studies ".
7.Asfar ascisseminat .tiofinformation andintellectual property isconcerned ,
noproblem arises because noexchange oflicences isenvisaged in
theAgreement .
However itistheCor.criissionJ sunderstanding andacondition ofits
participation that a.-yinformation obtained isforthebenefit of
theEuropean Community asawhole andmay bemade available toall
interested governmental andnongovernmental organisations inthe
Member States oftheCommunity .
8.Itisthe CoiTut .lesion sview that fortheImplementing Agreement on
energy technology systems analysis ,thepowers tonegotiate andcon­
clude such anAgreenv-.nr .arevested intheCommission byvirtue of
Article 211 ofthe ""Tro?;y .However aswas indicated inthe

3.
conclusion oftheImplementing Agreement foraprogramme todevelop
andtest solar heating andcooling systems (1),theCommission said
that inthefuture ,before signing similar kinds ofagreements within
theframework oftheIEA ,itwould inform theCouncil ofitsinten­
tion tosign such anAgreement andtake note ofanycomments that
theCouncil maywish tomake .
9.Inconclusion ,theCommission informs theCouncil ofitsintention
tosign theImplementing Agreement forcooperation in .energy technology
systems analysis .

Annex 1
ENERGY TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS ANALYSIS PROJECT
Background and Objectives
(a)Background .Asaresult ofthedecision bytheIEA Governing Board
inNovember ,1975 todevelop anIEA Strategy forEnergy Research ,
Development and Demonstration ,aco-operative energy systems analysis
activity was begun inFebruary ,1976 forthepurpose ofproviding the
analytical basis fortheStrategy .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 Iodevelop anEnergy Research ,Development aPi/JVu
Strategy fortheIEA .
(b)Objectives .The objectives ofthisTask aretoprovide forthecontinuation
ofaco-operative energy technology systems analysis activity inwhich the
greater part oftheanalytical work will becarried outbyParticipants at
thenational level ,with co-ordination and certain types ofsupport being
assured byacentral support stall .The general objectives oftheTask
are to:
(1)Increase theanalytical capabilities ofParticipating Countries inthe
held ofenergy technology assessment ;
(2)Maintain amultilateral capability within theIEA forenergy techno­
logy systems analysis bymaking useofand improving thedata base
and modelling techniques developed during Phase IIoftheIEA
Energy Research :and Development Systems Analysis Project .
Specific analytical objectives areasfollows ,with each objective tobepursued
aSubtask :
Subtask 1:Analyse thepotential forenergy saving through theapplication
ofconservation technologies .
Subtask 2:Review and 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 . -
ι
Subtask 5:Investigate certain environmental questions including the
requirements forlabour ,land ,water and some structural
materials ,andspecify theinventories ofselected pollutants .
Means
The objectives shall beachieved by: '•
(i)theestablishment ofanIEA Energy Technology Systems Analysis Support
Centre comprising aProject Staff with computing facilities ;
(ii)thetransfer oftheMARKAL model tocomputing facilities inParticipants'
