Traduction de «electric-generating machines » (Anglais → Français) :

Although participants restrict their freedom to manufacture other machines than those labelled A to C (with some exceptions), thereby restricting competition, the agreement fulfils the conditions for an exemption pursuant to Article 81 (3) of the EC Treaty: more efficient and technologically advanced products are likely to replace those phased out; savings on electricity bills for individual purchasers more than compensate potentially higher purchase costs; the agreement is also beneficial in reducing emissions from electricity generation and does not eliminate competition, which is vigorous in this market, as regards prices, washing p ...[+++]erformance, brand image etc.

Even though participants will no longer market the least energy-efficient machines in the EU, the agreement will, on balance, bring about important benefits and savings to the consumer, in particular as regards reductions of polluting emissions from electricity generation.

JET is not a reactor for producing power, but an experimental machine : the next step towards generating electricity by fusion for Europe, or a wider international collaboration, is to build a larger machine that will demonstrate ignition at the power level required for a reactor, i.e. several Gigawatts.
