European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources
An information meeting on the creation of the European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources, EUFORES, was held at the European Parliament in Brussels on 1 February 1995. The establishment of the Forum was decided as a result of the conference on "An action plan for renewable energy sources in Europe" which took place in Madrid in March 1994. The Forum aims to attain an extensive representation of all interested parties in order to make renewable energy sources (RES) contribute to EU energy requirements. The principal activities of the Forum will be: - Implementation of the action plan for RES including dissemination and dissemination activities; - Coordination with other initiatives such as the European Solar Council and UNESCO's World Solar Summit Process. The Forum has established a Governing Board which will carry out the following: - Conclusion of legal processes to create the Forum; - Develop the needed activities to increase the membership base; - Continue with the follow-up activities to increase the membership base; - Devise the structure of the Forum and make it operative; - Prepare and convoke a first general assembly.
