Results include the EuroGroups Register providing infrastructure to measure activities of multinational enterprises and profiling analyses to more efficiently collect data from enterprise groups in a confidential manner. It also provides recommendations to revise statistical unit definitions and increase use of administrative and accounts data in statistical warehouses.
This document provides an overview and tips for preparing for an enforcement authority visit regarding REACH regulations in the EU. It discusses the following key points:
1. Industry expects uniform, consistent, and transparent enforcement of REACH across the EU. Sanctions should distinguish between deliberate and accidental non-compliance.
2. The Cefic REACH Enforcement Group shares experiences from company inspections. Inspections are becoming more comprehensive and sometimes lack clarity on scope. Advance notice, relevant experts available, and feedback are most effective.
3. Authority advice includes preparing relevant documentation, clearly understanding obligations, and admitting what you don't know. International companies should appoint local representatives trained by a dedicated REACH team.

This document summarizes the UK's Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) policy, which places obligations on domestic energy suppliers to improve energy efficiency. It discusses that the EEC has gradually increased targets and scope since 2002. Suppliers must meet energy savings targets, with at least 50% in low-income groups. The market approach allows suppliers flexibility in measures. Most suppliers met EEC2 targets. The policy has effectively improved housing efficiency but further work is needed on more expensive measures and electricity use. The new Carbon Emissions Reduction Target doubles previous targets but maintains the market approach.

The document discusses energy service company (ESCo) business models and market development. It makes the following key points:
1. The two basic ESCo business models are energy performance contracting (EPC) and energy supply contracting (ESC). ESC makes up around 90% of the German ESCo market, which is worth approximately 1.6 billion Euros per year.
2. ESC focuses on renewable energy supply and is well-suited for applications like CHP, while EPC guarantees energy savings but makes up a smaller share of the market due to higher transaction costs.
3. An emerging "integrated energy contracting" model combines the strengths of ESC and EPC to provide both energy supply and savings.

Best Practices in Policies and Regulations in EuropeCleanslides
The document summarizes best practices in policies and regulations for renewable energy and energy efficiency in Europe. It outlines the key drivers for policies, including high import dependency on fossil fuels and environmental goals. Major targets have been set for 2020 and 2030, including reducing CO2 emissions by 40% and increasing the renewable energy share to 27% by 2030. Lessons learned are that purely market-based approaches have limited success, while regulation and programs that reduce the need for consumer action, like standards and home automation, tend to be more effective. Overall results show progress towards targets, though some larger countries still struggle and transformation to real-world projects is needed alongside aggregated goals and regulations.

A policy perspective on Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS)Leonardo ENERGY
Improved management of technical building systems (TBS) can offer a cost-effective potential to reduce building energy consumption, improve the quality of life of occupants and facilitate the integration of renewable energy systems by providing flexibility to the connected energy grids.
Multiple policy initiatives related to BACS currently exist or are under development. This presentation will give an overview and some examples of European policy tools and/or local implementations. The most relevant policy tools that can help contribute accessing these savings potentials are the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD), the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), Ecodesign Directive (ED) and Energy Labelling Regulation (ELR).
Some examples of existing policy will be given and reference will be made to the recently completed Smart Readiness Indicator study and the ongoing Ecodesign BACS preparatory study.

These include measures that could increase gas demand and promote renewable gas production, as well as those that favor electricity for heating and mobility. The Commission is exploring how to "mirror" gas market regulations based on the electricity market design. A study will evaluate different gas market scenarios, such as trading regions and a single market with zero tariffs at interconnection points. Overall, the document considers the tradeoffs between different gas market models and the practical challenges of transitioning between models.
E invoicing, e invoicing standardization in europeFriso de Jong
CEN has a long history of working on eInvoicing standardization through its eInvoicing Workshop. The Workshop has produced 3 phases of work including recommendations to update the EDI framework, standardized invoice contents, and a framework for an emerging European invoice operator network. CEN will continue this work and enhance it in line with recommendations from the EU Expert Group, including developing user guidelines for adopting the UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice in Europe. Multiple CEN workshops contribute to the overall standardization landscape, and awareness and participation are key to successful implementation.
The Joint Research Centre provides scientific and technical support to the European Commission and supports the Covenant of Mayors initiative. The Covenant of Mayors requires cities to develop Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) to reduce CO2 emissions 20% by 2020. Developing accurate SEAPs and monitoring progress requires reliable energy consumption data collected through baseline and monitoring emission inventories. However, data collection presents challenges as data is organized differently between countries and sectors. Energy audits and energy management systems can help cities develop better SEAPs and improve data quality for monitoring.

The document summarizes the findings of the AID-EE project, which evaluated 20 energy efficiency policies across Europe. Key lessons learned include: objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound to guide policy; the impact of individual policies is difficult to isolate as most use packages with interacting instruments; and monitoring and evaluation have been a low priority, despite being important to determine policy effects and efficiency. A policy theory approach that defines clear objectives, indicators and expected relationships can help design, monitor and evaluate policies.

Australia has abundant coal and gas resources but is becoming a net importer of liquid fuels. Greenhouse gas emissions are high per capita due to the energy-intensive economy. Key programs to improve energy efficiency include the National Framework for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act, and Minimum Energy Performance Standards. Smart metering and continued electricity market reforms aim to enable time-varying pricing and demand-side management, but regulators may not allow innovative tariffs. While on track to meet short-term climate targets, further energy efficiency and demand-side management policies are still needed to reduce emissions beyond 2010.
The document summarizes USA activities related to demand-side management (DSM), including demand response and energy efficiency.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Discussion
Cross fertilisation among tried-out
schemes: a useful path toward
harmonisation?
2. 2Antonio Capozza
Situation in a ferment:
EC ESD Directive promotes harmonised
EE calculation models
National and international Committees for
standardisation (e.g. CEN/CENELEC)
EU funded projects (e.g. EMEEES)
IEA-DSM new proposed Tasks
World “at work”: harmonisation
concepts cross over Europe
Harmonisation
3. 3Antonio Capozza
EU-wide White Certificate scheme
involves:
extra-national exchange
harmonisation among national EE
evaluation procedures
abandon national targets, replaced by
efficiency commitments referred to the
exchange area
Harmonisation and White Certificates
4. 4Antonio Capozza
Harmonisation: some already pointed out opinions:
IEA-DSM Task XIV: very hard:
Country-dependent criteria for baseline (e.g. local market of
appliances)
Contingent savings accounting; e.g. subjective
overevaluation of certificates when:
• generated in zones with congested grids,
• produced in zones with little capacity of new generation
• driven by social implications (poverty policies)
Energy/environment advantages not transfered with
certificates trading (they remain in the issuing country)
EuroWhiteCert project: similar though less categoric
concerns
Harmonisation and White Certificates
5. 5Antonio Capozza
Can common schemes on White
Certificates foster and drive the process
of harmonisation?
Is a widely shared EU scheme on White
Certificates really so hard to be devised?
Which are the main envisaged
difficulties for a common scheme?
Which are the most effective envisaged
actions to overcome barriers?
Starting points for discussion
