Traduction de «Efficiency Rating and Appraisal Form » (Anglais → Français) :

The reason we are confident in saying it is stored electricity even though it is in water form is that when you run it through a turbine it is over 90 per cent, up around the 97 per cent energy efficiency rate, which means that power of water translates 97 per cent into electricity.

11. Notes that numerous good practices can be found in the various Member States, demonstrating the excellent results achieved by cooperative enterprises in terms of growth, employment, survival rates and business start-ups, such as the single payment system (‘pago único’) in Spain and the Marcora Law in Italy – which help finance the establishment of new cooperatives through unemployment benefits – and the ‘employment and business cooperatives’ created in France, Sweden and Belgium; points, moreover, to groups of individual cooperatives that can voluntarily form large business groups covering sectors such as industry, agriculture, dist ...[+++]ribution, finance, R & D and high-level education; observes that the cooperative society, modelled, for example, on the British trust company, can also be an efficient model for good governance of professional or semi-professional sports organisations, which at the same time facilitates close involvement of the principal stakeholders – the supporters – in the management of a club (whether professional or not); calls on the Commission to look at these good practices in depth and consider including them in the framing of business-friendly EU policies;

Allowing the possibility of applying reductions in the rates of taxation on, for example, gas oil for agricultural use in the current context of falling agricultural incomes and increases in fixed production costs (of which energy costs can account for up to 30% owing to the rise in oil prices and hence in such costs) is good news in terms of European farms’ viability, as no alternatives exist to the gas oil used in agricultural machinery. Nevertheless, if those tax concessions are to be linked to energy ...[+++]efficiency policies in order to reduce these fixed costs, they must be sufficiently flexible and incorporated into state strategies designed in conjunction with the agriculture sector and forming part of a sufficiently long cycle in order not to further burden European farmers with additional charges that would undermine their economic viability at a time when they are already hampered by the requirements of the cross-cutting aspects of the common agricultural policy.
