Translation of "Paper advance " (English → French) :

1. Welcomes the new Commission Green Paper on a secure, competitive and sustainable energy policy for Europe; notes, however, that the Green Paper does not propose new targets or advance concrete proposals that would respond to recent calls for a common energy policy; urges the Commission and the Council to ensure a rapid political process in order to achieve a more ambitious European energy policy, encompassing a concrete plan of action as soon as possible; notes that the Green Paper fails to address vital sectors that rely heavil ...[+++]y on imported sources of energy, in particular transport and aviation; considers that the Green Paper is less ambitious with regard to transport than the Commission report on CARS-21;

On these questions, the Green Paper advances various options for discussion.

There is no point in reaching this agreement on paper after all these months of protracted talks if we do not transform the advances we agreed upon into a practical effect as soon as possible.

In the framing of this proposal, two primary objectives of the Community's Framework Programme for Science and Technology, adopted in 1982, have been kept in view, namely the strengthening of industrial competitiveness and better management of raw materials. To meet the needs of Europe's mining and steel industries, the European Community must promote research projects aimed at supporting and improving these fundamental components of the economy. This is more than ever necessary in a time of economic crisis when industry itself is often compelled to forego technological innovation and to cut back on investment in research and development activities (1) COM(85) 399 - 2 - In the production and utilization of wood, the resources of Europe's fo ...[+++]rests are to be turned to account and safeguarded in accordance with ecological principles. Methods of wood processing, inccluding paper production, will also be rationalized. In the development of advanced materials, the Community is to help the industrial companies concerned (mainly small to medium- size undertakings) to hold their own in competition with their opposite numbers in the United States and Japan, many of whom receive substantial public aid. Advanced materials will be a key factor in the further technological development of the European Community. Materials science and engineering are advancing rapidly. Materials such as technical ceramics, light alloys and composites are vital to progress in many traditional and new sectors of industry.
