By virtue of the strategic role played by energy in attainment of several of its fundamental objectives, particularly on economic growth, greater cohesion, quality of life and relations with non-EU countries, the European Communities have been and still are drawing on their financial instruments to promote action and projects in the energy sector. Hitherto the energy policy issues emphasised by the European Union and shaping its financial support for the energy sector have been: - management of external dependence and security of energy supplies; - completion of the internal energy markets in order to increase competitiveness; - development of energy networks across frontiers and in under-equipped regions; - the compatibility of energy and environmental objectives for sustainable development; - the development of energy technology and research. This Communication on financial assistance for the period 1995 to 1997 is a contribution to the efforts to foster openness initiated by the Communication entitled "An overall view of energy policy and actions"/0 It also contributes to the discussions in progress on the proposal for a Council Decision adopting a "multiannual framework programme for actions in the energy sector (1998-2002) and connected measures. (I) In addition, it highlights the importance of energy in the assistance provided through the horizontal financial instruments and funds.

Community grants to the energy sector come from the general budget and from the ECSC budget. hi the general budget, the energy section of the R&D framework programme, including the JOULE-THERMIE programme and the Structural Funds, are the biggest headings of relevance to energy. The ECSC budget finances measures in the coal industry, in particular for the redeployment of workers, interest-rate subsidies for industrial restructuring and research programmes in the sector. Community grants and contributions to the energy sector totalled ECU 4 656. 6 million in the report period (1995-1997). Of this total, 93. 7 %, or ECU 4 364. 8 million, came from the general budget. Almost all the loans from the financial instruments of the European Communities to energy projects come from the European Investment Bank (EBB). Total lending of which over ECU 10 118. 4 million was from the EIB and ECU 110. 6 million from the ECSC. at ECU 10 229 million, period report stood the The financial instrument which can guarantee energy loans is the European Investment Fund (EIF). Over the report period, the EIF guaranteed a total of ECU 285. 8 million. The European Union also grants financial assistance to non-EU countries as part of its international cooperation policy. The table below summarises assistance given outside the European Union, as a proportion of all energy assistance.

The European Energy Observatory was set up in 1995 and is designed to: - monitor energy markets, trends, developments and outlooks in terms of the supply, demand and prices of the various energy sources; - evaluate and disseminate any information on these areas; - develop a Community method of analysis; - establish special networks on the interaction of the energy sector with all the other scientific, economic and social activities. Its allocation from 1995 to 1997 was ECU 5. 98 million. 6. 7. Euratom funds activities relating to the transport of radioactive materials. A total of ECU 2 million were committed in 1996 and ECU 0. 7 million in 1997 (see "Other measures" in the Table in point A. 1. ). On 18 November 1997 the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Council Decision which proposes to bring together in a single, multiannual framework programme all Community actions and programmes to do with energy policy in the years 1998 to 2002, which will make it possible to improve the transparency, effectiveness and coordination of EU energy policy activities. 8/24 B. 1. TRANS-EUROPEAN ENERGY NETWORKS The TEN programme has been given an indicative budget of ECU 112 million for It is designed to help establish and develop trans-European energy 1995-99. networks, helping to interconnect national networks and make them interoperable, and to provide access to these networks and to extend them outside the Community. The programme is intended to cover some of the costs of conducting economic and technical feasibility studies, and preparatory studies and appraisals. It can also provide interest subsidies, reduce the cost of guaranteeing a loan, or grant direct subsidies, where such cases are properly justified. The measures covered by the report period relate exclusively to the joint funding of studies on projects of common interest. 2.

ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPEMNT The 4th Framework Research and Technological Development Programme for 1994-98 funds or part-funds specific energy projects from an available budget of ECU 2 403 million in the following areas: - Non-nuclear energy The "Non-nuclear energy" programme has a section for research (JOULE) and a section for demonstration projects (THERMIE). The budget is ECU 1 039 million. - Nuclear fission The programme on nuclear fission safety and safeguards has a budget of ECU 170. 5 million and covers the following areas: • exploring new approaches • reactor safety • management and storage of radioactive waste and decommissioning • effects of radiation on man and the environment • dealing with the consequences of past events. - Controlled thermonuclear fusion This programme, which incorporates all the research into mastering fusion energy carried out in the Member States, has a budget of ECU 846 million and covers the following areas: • "Next Steps", particularly as regards the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) • Joint European Torus (JET) • conceptual improvements long-term technology. • 10/24 2. The purpose of the THERMIE programme is to support demonstration projects, and also strategy, dissemination and measures to encourage small businesses. 2. 1. The objectives of THERMIE are: to improve energy efficiency in terms of supply and demand; to promote more extensive use of renewable energy sources; - - - to encourage cleaner and more efficient use of coal and other solid fuels; - to optimise the use of oil and gas in the EU. 2. 2. THERMIE is in two sections: THERMIE - A: financial support for shared-cost demonstration projects to use new energy technologies in the following areas: • rational use of energy; • renewable energy sources; • fossil fuels. THERMIE- B: financial support for other activities in the following areas: • development and implementation of an energy RTD strategy; • dissemination of energy technologies; • concerted action and cooperation networks; • preparatory, flanking and support measures; • measures providing incentives to encourage and facilitate the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in RTD activities. 2. 3. The THERMIE programme also provides support in non-EU countries. Accordingly, from 1995 to 1997 it provided 106 B-type schemes (associated measures) with support totalling ECU 10. 2 million. 2. 4. The table below shows the breakdown of THERMIE appropriations committed between 1995 and 1997.

JOULE comprises technical fields relating to: - RTD energy strategy and the analysis of the relationships between energy, the environment and the economy; the rational use of energy; - - renewable energies; - solid fuels. The amounts committed under the JOULE programme were ECU 183. 7 rnillion in 1995, ECU 42. 8 million in 1996 and ECU 132. 7 million in 1997. 4. Community RTD activities concerning FUSION energy are focused on the long-term objective of the joint construction of reactors and electrical power plant prototypes which meet society's needs, such as safety of operation, respect for the environment and economic viability. These activities are mainly pursued as part of the shared-cost actions with organisations in the Member States (Associations), under the auspices of the JET (Joint European Torus) Joint Enterprise and as part of multilateral agreements. Specific activities concerning fusion technology are also carried out at the Joint Research Centre (JRC).

(11) From 1996 JRC support for energy policy is part of nuclear fission. (12) Including the undertaking of pluriannual contracts. 13/24 D. STRUCTURAL FUNDS The Structural Funds (ERDF, ESF, EAGGF, etc. ) are actively involved in financing several programmes intended to solve the energy problems of the less-favoured regions via the Community support frameworks (CSFs) and Community initiatives. Most of the assistance from the Structural Funds in the energy sector is directed towards Objective 1 regions. In all the CSFs for the regions whose development is lagging behind (Objective 1), the Community is cofinancing energy projects with a view to improving the basic infrastructure. The Community's contribution is made primarily through the ERDF. The table below gives the breakdown by country of the grants to Objective 1 regions in the period covered by the Structural Funds (1995-1999). Since the way that the Structural Funds are organised makes it difficult to single out and indicate the annual grants to the energy sector, the grants have been broken down into equal annual instalments.

Hie projects are designed primarily to ensure proper protection for the environment and to make the public aware of the importance of coal as an energy source, to improve the competitive position of coal and to use the Community's resources rationally. The breakdown of funding between the various research themes is as follows: Mining technology: - excavation systems - firedamp, ventilation, climate - coal-winning techniques - mine infrastructure - mine management Use of coal: - preparation of coal - uses in metallurgy - coal conversion - coal burning and gasification Dissemination TOTAL (in ECU million) 1995 5. 2 2. 3 2. 7 0. 2 16. 2 1. 8 1. 9 1. 4 11. 1 0. 2 21. 6 1996 11. 0 1. 6 2. 1 0. 6 0. 9 5. 8 19. 7 3. 2 5. 5 1. 6 9. 4 0. 3 31. 00 1997 1 10. 0 4. 7 0. 5 2. 7 1. 2 0. 8 18. 7 4. 2 3. 4 11. 2 0. 3 29. 0 19/24 G. EIB LOANS The task of the European Investment Bank is to help with the integration, balanced development and economic and social cohesion of the Member States. To this end, the EIB directs large volumes of funds to finance investment projects designed to achieve Union objectives, including energy objectives.

The three lines of Community energy policy are the eligibility criteria for the EIB in this field: development of indigenous resources, diversification of imports and more rational use of energy. Completion of the internal market also involves focusing on interconnection of gas and electricity networks both within the Community and outside. In 1995, 30 % of investments were for the development of indigenous resources, 26 % for diversification of imports, and 44 % for the rational management and use of energy. The percentages for 1996 were 17 %, 49 % and 34 % and, for 1997, 21 %, 19 % and 60 % respectively. 21/24 The breakdown of EIB energy loans in the Community by Member State is as follows: EIB loans COUNTRY Austria Belgium Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Ireland Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Portugal Spain Sweden UK Other( > TOTAL (ECU million) Energy sector 1996 26 7 15 - 3 924 379 - 1637 - 140 489 539 111 674 - 4945 1997 212 - 84 45 17 489 126 - 351 - 30 30 169 80 349 109 2090 1995 - 34 84 - 4 626 36 - 625 - - 134 315 111 636 479 3083 EIB funding outside the Community as part of the Union's cooperation and development policy with non-member countries accounted in 1995 for ECU 2 805 million, of which ECU 689 million was for the energy sector and, in 1996, for ECU 2 294 million, of which ECU 704 million was for the energy sector. In 1997, these figures were ECU 3 144 million and ECU 593 million respectively. Energy sector loans were primarily for the construction and modernisation of power plants, the extension of electricity transmission and distribution capacity and the development of oil resources.

ECSC AND EURATOM LOANS 1. ECSC LOANS 1. 1. In 1995, the total amount of loans paid out by the ECSC (ECU 402. 8 million) was 40. 2 % down on 1994. The total paid out in 1996 (ECU 279. 7 million) was also markedly lower than the 1995 total. In 1997, on the other hand, the total amount of loans paid out by the ECSC (ECU 541. 2 million) was much higher than that of 1996. This increase can be accounted for by the fact that 1997, and specifically the first half of that year, was the last period for initiating the payment of ECSC loans, except for certain exceptional cases. Indeed, it is possible that the guidelines adopted by the Commission on changes to ECSC borrowing and lending activities by the year 2002, when the initial ECSC Treaty expires, may have had a (last) persuasive effect on potential borrowers, since they can no longer expect to receive long-term loans, i. e. loans which mature after 2002, except for some major infrastructure projects of European interest, for which it is possible to obtain a government guarantee. 1. 2. In 1995 and 1996 two loans for ECU 17. 8rnillion and ECU 12. 2 million were In 1997 a loan of ECU 80. 6 million was issued to Spain for the coal industry. granted to finance the Portuguese natural gas network.

EURATOM LOANS There has been no lending operation since 1988 owing to the poor cyclical situation of the sector. Council Decision 94/179/EURATOM( } of 21 March 1994 authorises the Commission to grant loans the purpose of which is to improve the efficiency and safety of nuclear installations in Central and Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union. No loans have so far been granted, but certain projects have been identified and preparatory work for those operations is under way. ,2U (20) Source: ECSC Financial Reports.

EIF GUARANTEES The European Investment Fund (EIF), which is a public/private partnership set up in June 1994, grants long-term financial guarantees to support large infrastructure projects, including the trans-European energy networks, involving small firms. The main aim of the EIF in the energy sector is to help involve private capital in TEN projects. Since it was set up and by the end of 1997, the EIF had signed guarantees for a total of ECU 2 165 million, of which 23. 8% is in the energy sector (TEN).

text: KOMMISSION DER EUROPÄISCHEN GEMEINSCHAFTEN Brüssel, den 22. 04. 1998 KOM( 1998) 250 endg. Vorschlag für eine VERORDNUNG (EG) DES RATES über die Einschränkung bestimmter wirtschaftlicher Beziehungen zur Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien (von der Kommission vorgelegt) BEGRÜNDUNG Angesichts der ernsten Entwicklung in der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien in bezug auf den Kosovo legte der Rat der Europäischen Union am 19. März 1998 den Gemeinsamen Standpunkt 98/240/GASP fest, der unter anderem Maßnahmen der Gemeinschaft zur Einschränkung bestimmter wirtschaftlicher Beziehungen zur Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien oder zur Republik Serbien vorsieht. Diese Maßnahme der Gemeinschaft erfordert gemeinschaftliche Rechtsvorschriften auf der Grundlage eines Vorschlags der Kommission. Mit dem vorliegenden Vorschlag der Kommission kann der Rat die entsprechende Verordnung erlassen. Die Kommission hat der ernsthaften Bedrohung des Friedens in der Region durch das Verhalten der Regierungen der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien und der Republik Serbien Rechnung getragen und schlägt daher gemeinschaftliche Rechtsvorschriften vor, die im Rahmen des internationalen Rechts eine weite Auslegung der in dem Gemeinsamen Standpunkt vorgesehenen Restriktionen ermöglichen. Dieses breit angelegte Konzept spiegelt sich wider in den Verordnungsbestimmungen über die betroffenen Personen und Einrichtungen (Artikel 5) und die Formen der staatlich unterstützen Exportkredite, die im Handel mit der Republik Serbien sowie für Investitionen in diesem Land verboten sind. Das gleiche Konzept findet auf den Verkauf oder die Lieferung von Ausrüstungsgegenständen für die interne Repression oder für terroristische Zweeke an die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien Anwendung. Dieser Vorschlag enthält aufgrund der zur Verfügung stehenden knappen Zeit nur eine begrenzte Liste solcher Ausrüstungsgegenstände. Die Kommission hat jedoch die Möglichkeit, nach den bereits bestehenden Verfahren in Artikel 2 für die Überprüfung und/oder Ergänzung der Liste in dieser Hinsicht rasch Beschlüsse zu fassen. Ein langwierigeres Beschlußverfahren würde der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien zu viel Zeit für die Beschaffung von Ausrüstungsgegenständen in die Liste aufgenommen werden sollen. Dadurch daß in Artikel 1, Buchstabe a) und Buchstabe d) solcher die Lieferung Ausrüstungsgegenstände an die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien nicht nur auf direktem, sondern auch auf indirektem Wege verboten und daß auch entsprechende Fördermaßnahmen untersagt sind, werden die zuständigen nationalen Behörden der Mitgliedstaaten in eine bessere rechtliche Position versetzt, etwaige Versuche zur Umgehung der Sanktionen zu verhindern. festgelegt wird, der Verkauf lassen, die und daß die über Lieferung Die Bestimmungen von Ausrüstungsgegenständen an die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien gelten nicht für bestehende Verträge oder bereits eingeleitete Transaktionen (Artikel 1 Buchstabe b)). Gleichermaßen gilt das Verbot der Bereitstellung oder Inanspruchnahme staatlicher Mittel für Privatisierungen in der Republik Serbien nicht für bereits rechtsverbindlich zugesagte Finanzierungen (Artikel 1 Buchstabe c)). den Verkauf und Die Bestimmungen über den Informationsaustausch zwischen der Kommission und den Mitgliedstaaten sowie über die Sanktionen im Falle von Verstößen gegen die Verordnung (Artikel 3 und 4) unterstützen die Wirksamkeit der Verordnung. oL Verordnung (EG) Nr. /98 des Rates vom. 1998 über die Einschränkung bestimmter wirtschaftlicher Beziehungen zur Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien DUR RAT DER EUROPÄISCHEN UNION - gestützt auf den Vertrag zur Gründung der Europäischen Gemeinschaft, insbesondere auf Artikel 73 g und Artikel 228 a, gestützt auf den Gemeinsamen Standpunkt (9X/240/GASP) - vom Rat aufgrund von Artikel J. 2 des Vertrags über die Europäische Union festgelegt - betreffend restriktive Maßnahmen gegen die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien1, auf Vorschlag der Kommission, in Erwägung nachstehender Gründe: Der Gemeinsame Standpunkt restriktive Maßnahmen gegenüber der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien vor, unter anderem eine Maßnahme der Gemeinschaft zur Einschränkung bestimmter wirtschaftlicher Beziehungen. sieht Einige dieser Maßnahmen fallen in die Zuständigkeit der Europäischen Gemeinschaft. sind insbesondere zur Vermeidung von Weltbewerbsverzerrungcn Daher gemeinschaftliche Rechtsvorschriften für die Durchführung dieser Maßnahmen erforderlich, soweit das Gebiet der Gemeinschaft betroffen ist. Für die Zwecke dieser Verordnung gilt als Gebiet der Gemeinschaft die Gesamtheit der Staatsgebiete der Mitgliedstaaten, auf die der Vertrag zur Gründung der Europäischen Gemeinschaft Anwendung findet. Aus Gründen der Dringlichkeit sollte die Kommission ermächtigt werden, die Liste der Ausrüstungsgegenstände für die interne Repression oder für terroristische Zwecke gemäß den Bestimmungen der Verordnung (EWG) Nr. 2603/69, insbesondere aufgrund der Artikel 3, 4 and 9, erforderlichenfalls zu ergänzen und/oder zu ändern. 1 Abi.

I 3 Die Kommission und die Mitgliedstaaten unterrichten einander über die im Rahmen dieser Verordnung ergriffenen Maßnahmen und tauschen alle sachdienlichen Informationen aus, die ihnen im Zusammenhang mit dieser Verordnung vorliegen - HAT FOLGENDE VERORDNUNG ERLASSEN: Verboten sind Artikel 1 die Lieferung oder der Verkauf, direkt oder indirekt, der im Anhang genannten (Serbien und an die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien a) Ausrüstungsgegenstände Montenegro), b) die Bereitstellung und/oder Inanspruchnahme staatlicher oder anderer öffentlicher Finanzhilfe, Versicherungen und/oder Garantien für neue Exportkredite für den Handel mit der Republik Serbien oder Investitionen in diesem Land, sowie für die Erneuerung oder Verlängerung bestehender Exportkredite, falls der Vertrag oder die Transaktion, für den/die der Exportkredit bereitgestellt wurde, noch nicht durchgeführt wurde, die Bereitstellung oder c) Inanspruchnahme staatlicher und/oder anderer öffentlicher Mittel für Privatisierungen in der Republik Serbien, für die noch keine rechtsverbindlichen Zusagen vorliegen, jede Maßnahme, deren Ziel oder Folge direkt oder indirekt die Förderung der d) in diesem Artikel genannten Transaktionen oder Aktivitäten ist. Artikel 2 Die Kommission wird ermächtigt, den Anhang gemäß den Bestimmungen der Verordnung (EWG) Nr. 2603/69, insbesondere aufgrund der Artikel 3, 4 and 9, zu ergänzen und/oder zu ändern.
