CHAPTER 06 04 — CONVENTIONAL AND RENEWABLE ENERGIES (cont’d)

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance actions or measures concerning:

— implementation of medium- and long-term strategies in the energy field to promote sustainable development, security of supply, competi-
tiveness and environmental protection on the basis of shared analyses, including the development of standards and labelling and certifi-
cation systems, long-term voluntary commitments to be agreed with industry, as well as forward studies, strategic studies, and regular
monitoring of the development of the markets and energy trends,

— creation or enlargement of structures and instruments for sustainable energy development, including local and regional energy planning

and management, and the development of adequate financial products and market instruments,

— promotion of sustainable energy systems and equipment in order to accelerate their market penetration and stimulate investment to ease

the transition from demonstration to marketing of the best technologies,

— development of information, education and training structures; the utilisation of results, the promotion and dissemination of know-how
and best practices involving all consumers, and cooperation with the Member States through operational networks at Community and
international level,

— monitoring of the implementation and impact of Community policy in the field of sustainable energy,

— evaluation of the impact of actions and projects funded under the programme.

The actions and measures are structured in three specific fields:

— improvement of energy efficiency and demand management, in particular in the construction sector and industry, including the prepara-

tion and application of legislative measures (SAVE),

— promotion of new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production and their integration into the urban

environment, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (Altener),

— support for initiatives relating to the energy aspects of transport, the diversification of fuels and the promotion of renewable fuels and

energy efficiency in transport, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (STEER).

As a general rule, the funding may not exceed 50 % of the total cost of the action or measure, the rest being covered either by public or
private funds or a combination of the two.

The funding may, however, cover all the cost of some actions, such as studies and other actions to prepare, supplement, implement and
evaluate the impact of Community strategy and policy measures and any measures proposed by the Commission to encourage exchanges of
experience and know-how to improve the coordination between Community, national, international and other initiatives.

All costs relating to actions and measures undertaken solely on the Commission’s initiative will be borne by the Community.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the
European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from
contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-
dance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-
tion under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 9 1 of
the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial
Regulation.
