    TERES II - The European Renewable Energy Study, European Commission, 1997. Through different scenarios, TERES II analyses the degree of political action necessary to meet Community objectives for the development of RES. TERES II was prepared for the European Commission within the framework of the ALTENER programme and was used as the main analytical basis for the drafting of the White Paper.

    The projections of the White Paper were based on an older scenario for electricity consumption. For the purpose of this calculation, the new 1999 electricity consumption scenario has been used, transforming the 23.5% RES-E share of electricity consumption of the White Paper to a 22.1% share. Therefore, a consumption of 675 TWh as projected in the White Paper in order to contribute to the 12% objective for all RES will result in a 22.1% share of electricity.

    For the purpose of this Directive, Article 2 has defined 'consumption of electricity' as domestic electricity production, plus imports, minus exports (gross consumption).

    De Europese Commissie kent nummers toe aan officiële documenten van de Europese Unie. De Commissie maakt onderscheid in een aantal typen documenten door middel van het toekennen van verschillende nummerseries. Het onderscheid is gebaseerd op het soort document en/of de instelling van de Unie van wie het document afkomstig is.

    De Raad van de Europese Unie kent aan wetgevingsdossiers een uniek toe. Dit nummer bestaat uit een vijfcijferig volgnummer gevolgd door een schuine streep met de laatste twee cijfers van het jaartal, bijvoorbeeld 12345/00 - een document met nummer 12345 uit het jaar 2000.
     
  • 63. 
    Het interinstitutionele nummer is een nummerreeks die binnen de Europese Unie toegekend wordt aan voorstellen voor regelgeving van de Europese Commissie.
    Binnen de Europese Unie worden nog een aantal andere nummerseries gebruikt. Iedere instelling heeft één of meerdere sets documenten met ieder een eigen nummering. Die reeksen komen niet overeen met elkaar of het interinstitutioneel nummer.

    Deze databank van de Europese Unie biedt de mogelijkheid de actuele werkzaamheden (workflow) van de Europese instellingen (Europees Parlement, Raad, ESC, Comité van de Regio's, Europese Centrale Bank, Hof van Justitie enz.) te volgen. EURlex volgt alle voorstellen (zoals wetgevende en begrotingsdossiers) en mededelingen van de Commissie, vanaf het moment dat ze aan de Raad of het Europees Parlement worden voorgelegd.
