New means to communicate Community policies

summarises main data and lessons learnt from a Commission trial to develop and use virtual facilities
based on new information technology. The trial was born from the impossibility to communicate efficiently
through traditional means with a high number of dispersed energy and transport actors at local and
regional levels. The objective of the trial was to further improve the communication of Community energy
and transport policies to, and with, local and regional level actors.
The trial was implemented within the Commission ManagEnergy Initiative. ManagEnergy supports local energy and transport action in line with the Green Paper on Security of Energy Supply and on the White Paper on European Transport Policy.
The ManagEnergy trial was inspired by the White Paper on European Governance and the European Commission eEurope initiative. Learning from the trial contributes with concrete suggestions to the proposed e-Commission implementation strategy 2001-2005 on improved communication with external partners. Furthermore, the results of the trial will guide the formulation of future virtual services foreseen under the Intelligent Energy for Europe. Experiences from the trial have already helped to shape the Commission virtual services.
The trial was developed and implemented jointly between Energy and Transport DG, Unit D3 (DG TREN.D.3) on Demand Management, and Joint Conference and Interpretation Services, Unit B4 on New Information Technologies. The starting point was that DG TREN.D.3 requested specific services in order to better achieve its policy objectives and SCIC.B.4 develop and implemented the suitable technology for the needs of DG TREN.
In addition to aiming at energy policy objectives of DG TREN and the service objectives of SCIC, each event piloted new ways of organising Commission multilingual meetings and events. Every event fed into the next event assuring that each event was systematically improved. The present report deals only with the aspect of virtual facilities in order to keep the report short. Energy policy results from the events are available online on this website.
