  • Services to Citizens in the EU in Facts and Figures
    161/2007 - 27 November 2007 Consumers in Europe Services to citizens in the EU in facts and figures How many EU households have only mobile phones? For how long do they talk per day on their mobile phones? How many inhabitants are served by each post office in the Member States? How many Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) are there per inhabitant in the EU? How do Europeans prefer to pay for their purchases? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in the publication1 "Consumers in Europe – facts and figures", jointly published by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities and the General Directorate Health & Consumer Protection of the European Commission. This third edition of "Consumers in Europe" focuses on network industries providing services of general interest to the European consumers. These services are utilities such as transport, energy, water, electricity, telecommunications, internet, postal services and banking services, which play a fundamental role in the economic and social lives of citizens. Nearly one mobile phone subscription per inhabitant in the EU27 in 2005 The number of mobile telephone subscriptions2 has increased almost fourteen times between 1996 and 2005 in the EU27, from 7 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 96 in 2005. In 2005, thirteen Member States had more than 100 mobile phone subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. Luxembourg (158), Lithuania (127), Italy (122), the Czech Republic (115) and Portugal (111) registered the highest ratios and Romania (62), Poland (76), France (77) and Bulgaria (80) the lowest. In contrast, the number of fixed telephone lines per 100 inhabitants in the EU27 has only increased slightly in this period, from 43 lines per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 48 in 2005.

The influence of drought on plant functioning has ET led to a smaller decrease in EWUE but a larger increase received considerable attention in recent years, however our in IWUE because of the severe soil moisture drought in com- understanding of the response of carbon and water coupling parison to observations. As in the observations, the simulated to drought in terrestrial ecosystems still needs to be im- uWUE showed no changes in the drought event. The model proved. A severe soil moisture drought occurred in south- deficiencies exist mainly due to the lack of the limiting effect ern Finland in the late summer of 2006. In this study, we of increased VPD on stomatal conductance during the low investigated the response of water use efficiency to summer soil moisture condition.

Level PU Working Status Verified by other WPs Final version Due date 30/11/2017 Work Package WP4 Lead beneficiary VTT Contributing HEL, FVH, HEN, CAR, TEC beneficiary(ies) Task 4.1: Baseline Assessment [VTT] (HEL, FVH, HEN, CAR, TEC) This task will set and assess baseline for Helsinki demonstration, including calculated and measured values from one year period. An integrated protocol for monitoring the progress of the demonstration will be followed according to WP5. The following subtasks are encompassed in this task: - Subtask 4.1.1: Buildings and district baseline: VTT will coordinate partners in the definition and assessment of the baseline and protocol for building and district energy consumption, share of renewables, CO2 emissions and use of waste energy sources. In addition the base line sets the baseline for control and management systems. - Subtask 4.1.2: Energy supply diagnosis – local resources: The definition and assessment of the energy supply systems and use of local and renewable resources will be led by VTT and HEN. The assessment includes the primary energy use, utilisation of hybrid and smart (two way) energy networks and waste energy resources.
