Translation of "Decreasing-order magnetic susceptibility scale " (English → French) :

In addition, the payment service is a transaction business which is inherently susceptible to economies of scale: the cost of a payment transaction decreases with the increasing volume; the fewer the commonly used infrastructures, the higher the economies of scale.

Also, in collaboration with the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Halifax, we are transferring magnetic resonance imaging technologies in order to build an international scale brain repair centre.

25. Stresses that improved energy efficiency and energy savings will play an essential role in the transformation of the energy system, and that meeting the 2020 objectives is a prerequisite for making further progress up to 2050; recommends, in this respect, that the Member States step up their efforts to fully implement the recently adopted Energy Efficiency Directive, and recommends that awareness-raising campaigns and energy efficiency be integrated into national educational curricula in the Member States; recommends that the Member States and the Commission do more to include national ideas and involve national development banks and to support exchanges of best practice; recalls that energy efficiency, if properly implemented, is a ...[+++]cost-effective way for the EU to achieve its long-term goals as regards energy savings, climate change, and economic and energy security; recognises that shifting to a more energy-efficient economy can accelerate the spread of innovative technological solutions, decrease fossil fuel imports and improve the competitiveness and growth of industry in the Union; believes that the move towards a better energy-efficiency policy should focus on the whole energy supply and demand chain, including transformation, transmission, distribution and supply, alongside industrial, building and household consumption; stresses that the EU’s long-term energy-efficiency policy should take the reduction of energy use in buildings as a central element, given that existing building renovation represents enormous energy saving potential; stresses that the current rate and quality of building renovation needs to be substantially scaled up in order to allow the EU to significantly reduce the energy consumption of the existing building stock by 80 %, relative to 2010 levels, by 2050; calls, in this regard, on the Member States to adopt ambitious, long-term building renovation strategies as required by the Energy Efficiency Directive;

3. Underlines the fact that substantial investments need to be made in energy infrastructure in order to achieve our goal for a low carbon economy by 2050; notes that not making these investments would result in much higher costs in terms of environmental deterioration, rising energy prices, the loss of competitiveness, increased energy insecurity and dependency, as well as a decrease in employment and welfare; believes that the required investments could be obtained through development of innovative financing instruments; These investments could come from both private and public sources, whereas revenues from a Financial Transaction ...[+++]Tax (FTT), a green/carbon tax and from the auctioning of allowances of the revised ETS could be used to bridge the funding gap and to boost investments, for instance to adapt our energy grids to the requirements of renewable energies; welcomes the 'Project Bond Initiative' proposed by the European Commission to provide funds for large scale infrastructure projects and believes that these funds should be used to facilitate the deployment of smart grids
