The financing of the new Energy Agency is included neither in the Commission's last financial programming of 31 January 2008 nor in the tables annexed to the APS for 2009, in which it is simply stated that the agency "will be financed by corresponding reductions in other actions (mostly actions under institutional prerogatives) within the transport and energy policy area".

Recalls that there is currently no legal basis for a consistent and independent European energy policy, and that a European strategy must be based on consensus and agreement among the Member States and broad public acceptance, and urges all EU Institutions to concentrate in their discussions on those areas where such consensus could quickly emerge, such as energy and transport efficiency, renewable energies and getting the inte ...[+++]rnal market right and to leave those issues where no agreement can be reached at EU level - notably nuclear energy - to subsidiarity;

43. Stresses that economic development is a right for all developing countries; emphasises that the European Union and other industrialised nations must assist the developing countries in the development of sustainable technologies; stresses, however, that developing countries do not have to emulate the polluting practices of the industrialised countries; believes that the rules of the Clean Development Mechanism need to be reformed so that they deliver sustainable development; suggests that the lending priorities of international financial institutions as well as EU aid efforts be shifted towards supporting renewable ...[+++]energy and energy efficiency; proposes as well the launching of a multilateral Sustainable Energy Initiative - involving the EU, countries such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa etc. and some major energy-related corporations - whose aim should be to promote technology cooperation in a big way, energy and transport being the main targets, building on the example of the recently agreed EU-China Climate Change Partnership;

The pre-JEP strategy and the definition of projects: Tempus II activities were introduced during the 1994-95 academic year; in order to give preference to the implementation of European Tempus (Tacis) projects which are currently viable, the Commission undertook preliminry action in 1993-94 by financing pre-JEPs lasting a year; these focused on the preparatory mobility of staff between universities in view of further cooperation at the institutional level; the support provided for these projects was to focus on the following priority subject areas: humanities and social sciences; political science and economics; modern European lang ...[+++]uages; improvement of university management; given the main objectives of the Tacis programme, the Commission decided that special attention would also be paid to projects relating to agriculture, energy and transport.
