summary
In adopting the report by Mr André SOULIER (PPE, F) Parliament highlighted the need to introduce an overall energy strategy in relation to non-member countries (particularly developing countries), of which the SYNERGY programme will form one aspect. Parliament's amendments clarified the substance and general direction of the programme by emphasizing the promotion of energy efficiency in non-member states, the development of local and renewable energy sources, promoting regional energy integration, support for the dissemination of European technology and the penetration of industry in key markets in the energy sector (Asia and Latin America), dialogue with energy-producing and exporting countries (the Gulf states, Russia, etc., and the energy transit countries), support for the financing of the necessary investment in third countries for energy production and transit, the dissemination of Community energy and environmental techniques, encouraging clean technology, in particular for the combustion of coal in major consumer countries (such as China), and improving nuclear safety in existing facilities in the CCEE and the CIS, etc. Parliament adopted the following indicative apportionment of credits (in %) by type of activity and geographic area: - Energy producer-consumer dialogue (4%); - Energy efficiency and use of renewables (20%); - Developing local resources and investments (29%); - Preparing for accession (6%); - Integration (8%); - Promoting technologies and enterprises (10%); - Training and advice for decision-makers (14%); - Nuclear safety (6%); - Others (3%). �

summary
The Council took note of progress of work in connection with the Commission communication concerning a multiannual programme to promote international cooperation in the energy sector (SYNERGY Programme), accompanied by a proposal for a Council Regulation adopting the programme. The aim of the proposal is, firstly, to provide the Commission with an instrument for international cooperation on energy as regards the formulation and implementation of energy policy in third countries and, secondly, to supplement and reinforce the existing instruments. The proposal is based on experience and the results already achieved in this area since 1980 and on developments in the international energy situation. The Permanent Representatives Committee was instructed to resume examination of the proposal in the light of Parliament’s opinion.
