           First paragraph
           The objective of developing energy technologies is directly linked to the Community's energy strategy, the
           aim of which is to increase security of supply in the long term and to reduce energy imports to a
           reasonable cost, bearing in mind the environment. As far as the technologies involved are concerned, this
           objective requires the contribution of solid fossil fuels and new and renewable sources of energy to be
           increased in the medium and long term and energy efficiency and the rational use of energy to be greatly
           improved.
           Third paragraph
           In addition, the development of advanced energy technologies should help to stimulate and improve
           industrial competitiveness, including that of small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community as well
           as enhancing the economic and social cohesion of the Community.
