Traducción de «separación energética » (Español → Inglés) :

In some instances, vertically integrated energy companies may be forced to dispose of some of their assets, notably their transmission networks, or to hand over the operation of such assets to a third party, in order to comply with the proposed requirements of effective unbundling.

However, with a view to encouraging investment in new energy infrastructures by supply and production companies, the present proposal includes the possibility of a temporary derogation to ownership unbundling rules for the construction of new infrastructure.

In its draft opinion, the EESC expresses strong political support for a common energy policy, considering that ownership unbundling is the most effective tool to promote investments in infrastructures in a non-discriminatory way, fair access to the grid for new entrants and transparency in the market.

68. Urges the 2007 Spring European Council to endorse the Energy Efficiency Action Plan action plan proposed by the Commission, which should at least contain the following elements: the placing of consumers, whether they are householders or commercial and industrial users, at the centre of energy policy; a road map at Council and Commission level for reaching a target for renewable energy of 50 % by 2040, a 30 % reduction at EU level in the CO2 target for 2020, an EU target for energy efficiency improvements of at least 20% by 2020 and a 60 to 80 % reduction for 2050; reform of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to guide the market into investment in a low carbon economy, which should be driven by a set target for EU carbon emissions b ...[+++]y 2020, including a target of 25 % of energy from renewable sources by 2020 and a binding target for car emissions; a step change in energy efficiency, faster implementation of existing EC rules in the Member States, or failing that, concrete improvements in the regulatory framework; a clearer separation of energy production from energy distribution through stronger independent regulatory control, which takes into account the interests of Europe as a whole, an effort to address missing interconnections, stimulate investment and innovation, minimum binding guidelines set out for regulators, including a procedure for the appointment of regulators, independence, transparency and accountability; an ambitious RD strategy on clean energy technologies, including an increase of at least 50 % in its annual spending on energy research over the next seven years; the development of an effective solidarity mechanism to deal with any energy supply crisis; a common foreign energy policy strategy so that it can increasingly speak with one voice to third countries; a doubling of the efforts to prompt global action to combat climate change, since the European Union cannot tackle the problem alone; and the full implementation of all current E ...

3. Urges the 2007 Spring European Council to adopt an action plan, which should at least contain the following elements: for consumers to be placed at the centre of energy policy, a radical reform of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to guide the market into investment in a low carbon economy which should be driven by a set target for EU carbon emissions by 2020 including a target of 25% of energy from renewable sources by 2020 and a binding target for car emissions, a step change in energy efficiency, reinforced efforts to implement unbundling in letter and spirit, including full ownership unbundling of energy networks in the event ...[+++]that other measures do not prove effective, minimum binding guidelines set out for regulators, including a procedure for the nomination of regulators, independence, transparency and accountability, an ambitious RD strategy on clean energy technologies, a common foreign energy policy strategy and full implementation of all current EU energy legislation;

recalls the EU’s strategic goals established in Lisbon and its aim of becoming a highly eco-efficient economy that respects the carrying capacity of the environment; regrets that some negative trends in the environment, especially in areas such as climate change, energy, transport and biodiversity, have not been reversed and invites the Commission to evaluate the consequences of failing to reverse these trends; recognises the need to give renewed momentum to the integration of environmental concerns into sectoral policies; emphasises the role of environmental technologies in achieving the goals set under the Lisbon Strategy whilst encouraging measures to improve investment in this area; calls upon the Commission to finalise, by the end ...[+++]of 2004, its review of the EU’s Sustainable Development Strategy; welcomes efforts made to ensure sustainable mobility and to enhance transport safety whilst noting with concern, however, that there are no signs of a significant decoupling of the environmental impacts of transport growth and GDP growth; encourages further limitation of motor pollutant emissions; underlines the Community’s engagement to respect and implement its international commitments on sustainable development at global level and, in particular, measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions; emphasises the economic and environmental benefits to be derived from greater energy efficiency; calls for strengthened action to preserve biological diversity.
