The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) is    
currently seeking project proposals for Renewable- &    
Efficiency Projects. The total volume of this projects call    
is around EUR 1 million and will be available from 1 April 2005.    
REEEP expects to fund about 15 projects with an average REEEP    
contribution of EUR 70,000. Projects which are funded    
under REEEP should focus on at least one of the two major    
themes: Finance and Policy / Regulation. Projects might    
deliver at least one of the products mentioned below:    
- Tool Kits for various stakeholders    
- Networks of individuals / organisations related to the project    
including databases    
- Training Tools    
- Best practice demonstrations    
One-page project summaries are due by Friday January 21, 2005.

Energy Community South East Europe    
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
   
Ministers of all EU member states and 11 South Eastern European    
countries including Turkey have agreed on the basic    
principles of a treaty to establish the Energy Community    
South East Europe (ECSEE). Another result of the meeting in    
Athens on December 14 was the decision on Vienna as the    
location of the ECSEE secretariat.    
   
The Energy Community will create a single regulatory space for energy    
and serve the interests of both the EU and the SEE countries    
concerning energy supply. Issues to be addressed are also    
energy poverty, the diversification of energy sources and    
stronger regional mechanisms especially in regard to    
dependency on external energy sources after the end of the    
Soviet Union.    
   
The treaty is expected to be signed in summer of 2005.    
Bosnia-Herzegovina will follow Austria as chair of    
the ECSEE in the year 2005.

EU-Russia Energy Dialogue    
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
   
The European Commission has issued a report on four years of    
EU-Russia Energy Dialogue stating positive results of the    
process. Among the issues that have been tackled so far, are:    
- Facilitating European investments in the Russian energy market;    
- Supporting Russian companies on their way to the European market;    
- Dealing with difficulties concerning supply contracts for oil and    
gas;    
- Security of transport of energy supplies.    
   
In the coming years, the dialogue will be extended to co-operation on    
energy efficiency and technology transfer and the consequences    
of Russia's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol.    
   
An institution established within the framework of the dialogue is    
the EU-Russia Technology Centre, which is dedicated to the    
exchange of know-how, the facilitation of projects, and acts    
as co-ordination centre for technology transfer issues. In summer    
2004, the centre held a Round Table on Renewable Energy policy    
development which resulted in recommendations to improve    
RES development in Russia.
