I would remind the honourable Member of Article 163, Paragraph 3 of the Treaty, which states that, ‘All Community activities under this Treaty in the area of research and technological development, including demonstration projects, shall be decided on and implemented in accordance with the provisions of this title’, i.e. Title XVIII on research and technological development, especially the multiannual framework programmes referred to in Article 166. Consequently, research and development in the field of alternative energy sources is conducted and funded within the framework of the framework programme. The current framework programme was introduced under Decision 1513/2002 for the sixth framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and research activities, contributing to the creation of the European Research Area and to innovation for the period 2002-2006.
The framework programme, under the thematic priority ‘sustainable development, global change and ecosystems’, provides funding for research and development of sustainable energy systems in the following sectors: clean energy, in particular renewable energy sources and their integration in the energy system, including storage, distribution and use; energy savings and energy efficiency, including those to be achieved through the use of renewable raw materials; alternative motor fuels; fuel cells, including their applications; new technologies for energy carriers, transport and storage on a European scale, in particular hydrogen technology; new and advanced concepts in renewable energy technologies with a significant future energy potential and requiring long-term research efforts; disposal of carbon dioxide associated with cleaner fossil fuel plants. A sum of EUR 810 million has been earmarked for these research activities during the framework programme.
I would also remind you that the sixth framework programme of the European Atomic Energy Community, again for 2002 to 2006, has earmarked a budget of EUR 750 million for research into controlled thermonuclear fusion, which could contribute to long-term energy supplies and consequently to the requirements of sustainable development for reliable centralised basic load electricity production.
Further details on research to be carried out and specific financial allocations are contained in the specific decisions establishing the programmes. Consequently, the Council, under the codecision procedure with the European Parliament, has I think provided substantial funds for research into alternative and renewable energy sources and energy savings and energy efficiency."@en1
