Moreover the General Block Exemption Regulation (OJ L 214, 9.8.2008 p3) allows block exemptions under certain conditions. Both measures are relevant for state aid for renewable energy.
- 9.Biofuels data exist for 2007, but consistent 2007 electricity data does not yet exist for all Member States. For this reason, the latest, 2006, Eurostat data are used for electricity.

- 12.This is a 21% target for electricity from renewable energy sources in 2010. It is not to be confused with the 2020 target established by the new Directive on renewable energy, which is for a 20% share of all energy (not just electricity). Commission estimates suggest that this overall 20% share in 2020 will require around a 33% share of renewable energy in the electricity sector.
- 13.Based on normalised hydropower following a methodology of Eurostat (which may differ from the methods applied in some Member States).
- 14.However Hungary's share of renewable electricity actually declined between 2005 and 2006.
- 15.Although the case of Latvia is driven more by rapidly rising electricity demand than by the slight decline in electricity production from renewable energy sources.
- 16.Hydropower has been almost constant and is excluded from the graph of the growth.

- 27.Explored further in the Staff Working Paper accompanying this report
- 29.Mobilisation of more biomass is important given the competition for uses of biomass, in particular wood, with wood processing industries.
- 30.This figure is preliminary. As Bulgaria's growth rate has not been confirmed it has not been considered as one of the Member States with an above average growth rate for biofuels.

- 59.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.
- 60.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.
- 61.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.
- 62.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.
- 63.Als dag van bekendmaking van een Europees besluit geldt de dag waarop het besluit in het Publicatieblad wordt bekendgemaakt, en daardoor in alle officiële talen van de Europese Unie bij het Publicatiebureau beschikbaar is.
