A select working party of rapporteurs from the European SME representative bodies, the ManagEnergy Reflection Group, the Intelligent Energy Executive Agency (IEEA), and the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy and Transport have met to draw up the conference conclusions. These will centre around the relevant Energy Efficiency Action Plan priority actions, but also aim at suggestions for input areas for both local and regional energy actors and SME organisations for the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) work programme 2008.
The conclusions will be published on this website soon and comments by visitors will be invited and where appropriate incorporated. These will also be taken on board by the European Commission as input from the local energy actors and SME communities into the process of implementation of the 2006 Energy Efficiency Action Plan and the 2008 IEE work programme.
