its Communication tothe Council entitled "Rational Utilization of

Whereas ItIsappropriate toextend theinitiatives already adopted
bysome Member States tosetupnational bodies charged with improving ,
helping ,increasing theawareness ofundertakings intheir efforts

Whereas itisappropriate toextend thepractice already adopted by
some undertakings ,inparticular thelarge energy intensive ones ,
tonominate anenergy officer ;
Whereas thenational bodies referred toabove should follow theprogress
achieved bytheundertakings inrealizing their energy conservation
programme ;
Whereas ,one ofthemost effective ways attheCommunity level being
thesystematic aidregular dissemination ofinformation onenergy con­
servation professes between Community undertakings and inparticular the
small andmedium-sized undertakings ,thenational organizations should
ascertain from the energy officers what experience has been gained and
the difficulties encountered inorder todisseminate them tothese
energy officers ;these same organizations should also periodically
organize meetings orseminars toexchange themost valuable experiences

Initiate in-allMember States following theinitiatives already adopted
bysome ofthem ,oneorseveral ,national orrecognised bodies whose
tasks would beprimarly todevelop information campaigns ,toincrease

Whereas ,amore rational utilization ofenergy canbeobtained byawider
use ofcombined heat andpower production intheindustrial sector as

1.Tocreate oneorseveral advisory bodies onthecombined
production ofheat andpower capable ofgiving support toallthe
actions likely toincrease theefficiency with which industrial heat is
