• Two World Wars• An idea of building a lasting peace between former enemies • United States of Europe a dream of Victor Hugo• Konrad Adenauer, Winston Churchill, Alcide de Gasperi and Robert Schuman, worked out a vision of a new order in western Europe based on the interests of its people and nations - shared and founded upon treaties guaranteeing the rule of law and equality between all countries.

• 9 May 1950, proposal of setting up a European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) - the raw materials of war were being turned into instruments of reconciliation and peace.


May 2004 – number of EU member countries reached 25

Safety and securityThe EU has to take effective action to ensure the safety and security of its 25 member states


Economic and social solidarity

European businesses need to operate in a bigger market than just their home country. EU worked hard to open up the single European market Close the gap between different levels of development in different parts of Europe.

European model of society

People's needs cannot be met simply by market forces the EU stands for a view of humanity and a model of society which cherishes its rich heritage of values that includes a belief in human rights, social solidarity, free enterprise, a fair sharing of the fruits of economic growth, the right to a protected environment, respect for cultural, linguistic and religious diversity


INTEGRATION MEANS BRINGING DIFFERENT THINGS TOGETHER

Integration of society:

• combining and harmonizing social elements which is understood as intensity of contacts and accepting common values and standards

Integration of economy:

• links and relations between countries of specific region containing agreements concerning freedom of transfer of investments, labour force and goods across existing borders


POLISH ENERGY POLICY main goals:

1. SECURITY OF ENERGY SUPPLY,

2. COMPETITIVENESS OF POLISH ECONOMY AND EFECTIVENESS OF ENERGY PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION,

3. PROECOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENERGY SECTOR CONCERNING PRODUCTION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY AND FUELS,

4. ENERGY CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN.


SECURITY – Information adopted by Council of Ministers in 2002

Continuous tendency of shrinking energy consumption:In 2000 – primary energy consumption was 10% lower than in 1997.

In years 1990-2003 energy available in power and heat stations increased by 10% and reached 35,400 MW. It is 40% higher than peak energy demand.


Factor of energy independency is kept on much higher level than in EU countries:

Year 1997 1998 1999 2000Poland 96,5% 90,4% 89,7% 84,0%EU 54,2% 52,6% 53,4% 49,8%

Energy sector in Poland relies on coal despite all changes of energy carriers structure:

Coal mines: consumption of coal in Poland goes down: 1990 – 120 Mton/2003 – 83Mtonwhich means positive trend in energy conservation 40 coal mines in operation,


Energy Policy of Poland is executed in line with policies of neibourgh countries and according to international treaties:

• common policy in energy sector within EU including participation in Energy Dialog with Russia on stable provision of gas and oil,

• close collaboration with Baltic Countries an Wysehgrad Group,diversity of deliveries including countries from Caspian Sea and Mediterranean Sea,

• fulfilling goals set in Kyoto protocol,

• participation in International Energy Agency (PL applies for full membership) and International Agency of Nuclear Energy.


SELECTED INDICATOR FOR POLAND – 2002 (IEA)

Energy production - 80.17 Mtoe

Net import - 10.32 Mtoe

TPES - 89.19 Mtoe (2.33 toe per capita)

- coal - 54.92 (62%)- crude oil - 18.32 (21%)- petroleum products - 1.82 (2%)- gas - 10.11 (10%)- combustibles/renewable - 4.43 (5%)

Electricity consumption - 122.94 TWh (3217 kWh per capita) gross production - import – export – transmission, distribution, losses

CO2 emissions - 282.9 Mt ( 7.4 t/capita)Emissions from fuel combustion only are calculated using IEA's energy balances


The Growing EU Role in Energy Efficiency

• EU energy efficiency policies and programmes has evolved since the first oil crisis in 1973 because the EU has evolved politically and institutionally.

• Energy efficiency is a priority area within energy policy because of its potential contribution to meeting energy security objectives and meeting Kyoto Protocol targets. Reduced energy demand has to be good for energy security and improved energy efficiency

• Energy policy means liberalization of the electricity and gas markets and this has proven a disincentive to improved energy efficiency as energy prices tends to go down due to competition of energy providers.

EU DOCUMENTS

1. The Commission’s Green Paper: Towards a European Strategy for Energy Supply, COM(2000)769, 29 November 2000.

2. European Commission: Energy Efficiency in the European Community – Towards a Strategy for the Rational Use of Energy, Communication from the Commission, Brussels, 29.04.1998 [COM (1998)246 final].

3. Action Plan to Improve Energy Efficiency in the European Community, Brussels, 26.04.2000, COM (2000)247 final.


• There is high cost-effective potential for energy savings in buildings. The Council Resolution of 7 December 1998 on energy efficiency (98/C 394/01) stated that meeting the indicative target of a 1 per cent improvement in energy intensity would result in avoiding energy consumption of 55 Mtoe in buildings. • This represents about 20 per cent of the Kyoto Protocol target. • Recent analysis provided by the EC in the Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings - the global potential is about 22 per cent reduction of present consumption can be realised by 2010.


For significant energy efficiency improvements in the buildings sector, the focus has to be on the space heating and cooling and water heating in residential buildings these represent 89 per cent of total consumption.

Transport and industry have to be energy efficient as it is requested by policy makers and markets.

(Companies, vehicles and goods have to fulfill all criteria)


Poland

There are following tools concerning buildings existing in Poland:

1. Technical requirements for buildings and their location – Decree of the Minister of Infrastructure from 12 April 2002

According to the Decree building as such and its installations have to ensure rational and low level of needed energy. Different factors are set for final energy needed for heating:

- residential buildings, - multifamily buildings, - public buildings

2. Energy efficiency of goods produced in Poland and imported from abroad – Decree of Minister of Economy from 2 April 2003.

Decree sets energy efficiency of central heating systems, coal, oil and gas ovens, air conditioning systems, home appliances and similar equipment


3. Energy Audits – Decree of Minister of Infrastructure from 15 February 2002 on form and range energy audits and algorythms of valorization of executing thermomodernization processes.

4. Thermomodernization Fund – A programme on Energy Efficiency and Thermo-refurbishment of Buildings in communal housing sector covering 2.4million flats. This Act was approved by Parliament on 28 December 98 creating Thermomodernization Fund and mode of granting 25% of investment.

The special financing is granted if as a result there is a 10-25% drop of energy demand for space and water heating, cost of energy needed for heating decreases at least 25%, there is a change of energy source into alternative energy source,


5. Credits offered by: - National Fund for Environment Protection: mainly for proecological

activities like modernization of heating systems and use of alternative energy sources- Regional Fund for Environment Protection: mainly for big building or

groups of building thermo modernization and improvement of their heating system, - Environment Protection Bank: offers low interest rate investment

credits building up and modernization of heating systems, thermo modernization buildings and their energy

installations.- EKOFUND: supports executing projects related to saving energy

and improvement of its consumption – higher efficiency of city central heating systems, changing coal for gas, use of biomass for producing energy in big energy systems.

ALL TOOLS ARE NOT VERY EFFICIENT BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFICULT PROCEDURES AND FREQUENT CHANGES OF OUR REGULATIONS.

RELATIVELY LOW PRICES OF ENERGY ARE NOT MOTIVATING (it needs time)
