                           Brussels, 24 Jul y 1991

               Re-examined proposal for a

                  COUNCIL DECISION

```

**with a view to the adoption of a**

**specific research and technological development programme in**

**the field of non-nuclear Energies (1991-1994)**

```
      (presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 149.2(d)
                  of the EEC treaty)

```

**EXPLANATORY STATEMENT**

**1.** **During its examination, at the second reading, of the proposal** **"Non-nuclear** **Energy"**
**(initial proposal** **COM(90)** **164 final SYN** **269,** **amended proposal COM (90) 50 final SYN**
**269),** **which was held on 10 July 1991, the European Parliament adopted three**
**amendments to the common position of the Council. These amendments are intended**
**to reintroduce into the draft decision the notion of "integrated projects", which was**
**proposed by the Commission but anulled by the Council.**

**2.** **The Commission accepts amendements** **1** **and 2 in their entirety - and as far as areas 3 and**
**4 of Annex II are concerned - that part of the amendment n° 3 which concerns the**
**insertion of the notion of "integrated projects" into Annex II.**

**3.** **As far as the other parts of amendment 3 are concerned (cf. Annex II), the Commisison**
**considers that allocating 10 to 12 % of the Programme budget to integrated projects**
**would be damaging to flexibility as well as to the equilibrium between programme areas.**
**Although initially proposed** **by** **the Commission, the replacement of the financial allocation**
**by percentage ranges was not retained by the Commisison, in view of the fact that the**
**specific Programmes already adopted** **by** **the Council contained financial allocations in Mio**
**ECU.**

**As a result, the Commission has formulated its** **re-examined** **proposal by incorporating the**
**amendments which it has accepted into the text of the common position.**

**Annex I**

**Re-examined** **proposal for a**

**COUNCIL DECISION**
**with a view to the adoption of a**
**specific research and technological development programme in**

**the field of non-nuclear energies** **(1991-1994)**

**The re-examined proposal of the Commission is comprised of the text of the Common position**
**adopted by the Council, on 6.5.1991 (DOC.** **5733/1/91),** **amended in the following way :**

**Annex I. area 3** **"Biomass"**

**2nd sentence to be replaced by** **:**

**"Coordination with actions carried out under the specific agricultural and agro-industrial research**
**programme will be ensured through integrated projects under the responsibility of the Commisison**
**and assisted by the two programme committees concerned".**

**Annex I. area 4** **"Energy efficiency in** **transport,** **including appropriate substitutes for**
**conventional fuels".**

**3rd sentence to be replaced by** **:**

**"Co-ordination with transport projects carried outunder the Industrial and Materials Technologies**
**programme will be ensured through integrated projects under the responsibility of the**
**Commisison, assisted by the two programme Committees concerned".**

**Annex II to be read as follows :**

**"Indicative allocation of funds deemed necessary**

**Area** **Allocation**

**(millions of ecus)**

**1.** **Analysis of strategies and modelling** **9**

**2.** **Minimum emission power production from fossil** **36**

**sources**

**3.** **Renewable energy sources** **57,43 ***

**4.** **Energy utilization and conservation** **53** *****

**Total** **155,43 (1) (2)**

***** **including the integrated projects**

**(1)** **Including staff costs amounting to ECU 11 million and administrative**
**costs amounting to ECU 7 million.**

**(2)** **An amount deemed necessary of ECU 1,57 million, not included in the**
**ECU 155,43 million, would be set aside as a contribution from the**
**specific programme on non-nuclear energies to centralized action for**
**disseminating and exploiting the results."**
