Traduction de «Laboratoire de recherche en diversification énergétique » (Français → Anglais) :

· Improving energy security, while delivering a low-carbon and competitive energy system, through common action, integrated markets, import diversification, sustainable development of indigenous energy sources, investment in the necessary infrastructure, end-use energy savings and supporting research and innovation.

These regions have a role to play as natural laboratories for renewables and electricity and natural gas transmission, and this should be boosted by pursuing projects of common interest aimed at diversifying the regional energy base and enhancing sustainability and energy efficiency, thus helping to meet the targets laid down in the Europe 2020 strategy.

Key follow up actions: Invite the U.S., Japan and other industrialised partner countries to pool efforts with the EU to accelerate the development of ambitious policies on low carbon technologies and energy efficiency, including regulatory cooperation, joint RD projects, researchers mobility, and joint work on better performing materials and standards for critical and emerging technologies, as already pursued with the US under the auspices of the EU-US Energy Council Elaborate long-term low carbon energy roadmaps with key partners such as the US and Japan to support technological, research and industrial cooperation Propose a trilateral ...[+++]initiative with Japan and the U.S. on research on critical materials for energy applications, particularly in areas of major technological challenge such as the substitution of rare earths Raise the reciprocity principle in the EU energy-related science and technology cooperation as envisaged under the Innovation Union; [25] enhance cooperation between U.S. national energy laboratories and laboratories in the EU, including the Commission's Joint Research Centre Prepare EU and Member States joint approaches towards China, India, Brazil, and South Africa, designed to promote policies and technologies in the areas of low carbon energy and demand management, and upgrade existing bilateral dialogues to encompass sustainable modernisation paths and energy security aspects |

My third comment is that the cohesion policy must increasingly encompass and respond to the current challenges such as those represented by globalisation, migration, population ageing, climate change, energy diversification, research and technological development.
