Overview and process for establishing the plan 1.1. Executive summary i. Political, economic, environmental and social context of the plan Economic context1 Belgium is a federal state in which decision-making power is shared between a Federal Government and three Regions (Wallonia, Flanders and the Brussels-Capital Region), as well as three Communities (the Flemish Community, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and the German-speaking Community). The Regions are responsible for areas such as energy efficiency, the promotion of renewable energy sources, public transport, transport infrastructure, urban and rural planning, agriculture and waste management. The Federal Government is responsible for many aspects of fiscal policy, as well as for policies on goods (standards, fuel quality, labelling and performance standards for household and industrial appliances, etc.). It has overall responsibility for nuclear energy and the security of the country’s energy supply. It also oversees Belgium’s territorial waters, which means that it is also responsible for the development of offshore wind farms. Through its complementary policies in areas ranging from taxation to biofuels, bicycles, product standards, energy efficient public buildings and railways, the Federal Government supports the regions in their climate and air quality policies. These complementary policies, in addition to the forecasts for offshore wind energy, represent the federal contribution to achieving Belgium’s targets under the EU’s 2020-2030 climate and energy package2. Responsibility for energy is shared on the basis of the law of 8 August 1980. Given Belgium’s federal structure and the division of powers, several bodies have been set up to foster cooperation and consultation among the various levels of authority and to ensure consistency between the actions of the national government and its component entities. The three Regions and the Federal Government collaborate closely and continually on energy and climate policy. The work is coordinated within various forums, including: - the Energy Policy Coordination Platform,

  • Draft Annual Tourism Reporting Template
    BELGIUM DRAFT ANNUAL TOURISM REPORTING TEMPLATE 1. INTRODUCTION Council Decision 86/664/EEC of 22 December 19861 establishing a consultation and cooperation procedure in the field of tourism foresees that “each Member State shall send the Commission, once a year, a report on the most significant measures it has taken and, as far as possible, on measures it is considering taking in the provision of services for tourists which could have consequences for travellers from the other Member States”. With the publication of the “Agenda for a sustainable and competitive European tourism”, the Commission announced that “in order to strengthen the collaboration with and among Member States, their current annual reporting through the Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) will be used to facilitate the exchange and the dissemination of information about how their policies and actions safeguard the sustainability of tourism”. This Communication was welcomed by the Competitiveness Council conclusions (22nd-23rd November 2007) and by the Presidency Conclusions of the Brussels European Council of 14th December 2007. The main aims for the reporting process are: x to be able to monitor the level of implementation of the “Agenda for a sustainable and competitive European tourism” by Member States; x to facilitate the exchange of experiences among member States with regard to how they tackle issues which are important for the competitiveness and sustainability of European tourism. MS reports referring to year n shall be sent to the European Commission by the end of February of year n+1. If the reports are sent in English, the deadline is shifted to the end of April.

  • 157 Doel (Summary)
    INTRODUCTION AND MAIN CONCLUSIONS INTRODUCTION At the request of the government of the Kingdom of Belgium, an IAEA Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) of international experts visited Doel Nuclear Power Plant from 8 to 25 March 2010. The purpose of the mission was to review operating practices in the areas of Management organization and administration; Training and qualification; Operations; Maintenance; Technical support; Operating experience, Radiation protection; Chemistry and Emergency planning and preparedness. In addition, an exchange of technical experience and knowledge took place between the experts and their plant counterparts on how the common goal of excellence in operational safety could be further pursued. The Doel OSART mission was the 157 th in the programme, which began in 1982. The team was composed of experts from France, China, United Kingdom, United States of America, Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, Finland, and Hungary together with the IAEA staff members and observers from Czech Republic and Russia. The collective nuclear power experience of the team was approximately 378 years. The Doel nuclear power plant is located in the Port of Antwerp, on the Schelde river, a few kilometers from the border between Belgium and the Netherlands. The plant is owned principally by Electrabel which belongs to the GDF SUEZ Group. The plant has 961 Electrabel employees and about 350 permanent contractor staff on site. The plant operates units 1 and 2 with 433 MWe net power each and units 3 and 4 with 1006 and 1040 MWe net power respectively. According to the request of the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) units 1 and 2 were the main scope of the OSART review.

  • Wetenschappelijk Verslag 2005-2007
    Onderzoekschool Ius Commune Wetenschappelijk verslag 2005-2007 VERANTWOORDING A. ALGEMEEN In dit wetenschappelijk verslag van de Onderzoeksschool Ius Commune is de productie over de jaren 2005, 2006 en 2007 opgenomen. De verslaglegging vindt hier plaats per subprogramma. Achtereenvolgens zijn dat de program- ma's: Algemeen verbintenissen- en contractenrecht; Europees personen-, fami- lie- en erfrecht; Goederenrecht; Aansprakelijkheid en verzekering; Grensover- schrijdend milieurecht; Rechtspersonen in Europa; Grondslagen en beginselen van burgerlijk procesrecht in Europa; Publiekrechtelijke rechtsvergelijking; Constitutionele processen in Europa en Constitutionele processen in de interna- tionale rechtsorde. De aan de Onderzoeksschool verbonden geassocieerde (deel)programma’s Fis- cale vraagstukken in de interne markt en Intellectuele eigendom zijn eveneens opgenomen in dit verslag. B. UITGANGSPUNTEN VOOR VERSLAGLEGGING I. Algemeen In dit verslag wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen proefschriften, wetenschappe- lijke publicaties, vakpublicaties en annotaties. Het gehanteerde onderscheid is gebaseerd op de door de VSNU in haar Protocol 1998 ontwikkelde criteria voor beoordeling van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Bij de overzichten van publi- caties is afgezien van het opnemen van een rubriek ‘Overige producten van we- tenschappelijke activiteiten’ (redacteurschappen, lezingen, gastcolleges, etc.). Annotaties – geen officiële categorie binnen genoemde indeling – zijn groten- deels apart opgenomen. Sommige annotaties in met name enkele Belgische tijdschriften hebben echter een omvang en kwaliteit die opneming in de catego- rie ‘wetenschappelijke publicatie’ rechtvaardigen. Publicaties die volgens de VSNU-normen niet anders dan als vakpublicatie kunnen worden gekwalifi- ceerd (o.a. bijdragen aan losbladige uitgaven, aan praktijkuitgaven, etc.) wor- den als zodanig aangeduid. Volgens de VSNU-criteria wordt een publicatie als wetenschappelijk aange- merkt wanneer deze voldoet aan het criterium ‘increasing the body of academic knowledge’.
